[Advances on gene therapy for USH2A exon 13 related inherited retinal dystrophy].

Abstract excerpt

Biallelic pathogenic variants in the USH2A gene result in Usher syndrome type Ⅱ and non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa, both of which entail the progressive loss of photoreceptors leading to blindness. The cDNA of the USH2A gene is extensive, consisting of 15 606 base pairs, rendering it impractical for delivery via adeno-associated virus vectors for gene replacement therapy. Notably, exon 13 has emerged as a...
