Abstract excerpt
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe neuromuscular disorder without an effective cure. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) based gene therapy has improved dystrophin function, with sub-optimal clinical outcomes. We reasoned that a combination of rational engineering of AAV9 capsids modified at the post-translational modification sites, optimal promoter selection, and codon-optimisation of the microdystrophin...
