Rescue of lysosomal acid lipase deficiency in mice by rAAV8 liver gene transfer

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Background Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the LIPA gene, which results in lipid accumulation leading to multi-organ failure. If left untreated, the severe form of LAL-D results in premature death within the first year of life due to failure to thrive and hepatic insufficiency. Weekly systemic injections of recombinant LAL protein,...
