Spinal muscular atrophy is a progressive, recessively inherited monogenic neurologic disease, the genetic root cause of which is the absence of a functional survival motor neuron 1 gene. Onasemnogene abeparvovec (formerly AVXS-101) is an adeno-associated

Retinal gene therapy with a large MYO7A cDNA using adeno-associated virus. [PDF]
Usher 1 patients are born profoundly deaf and then develop retinal degeneration. Thus they are readily identified before the onset of retinal degeneration, making gene therapy a viable strategy to prevent their blindness.

Status and Prospect of Gene Therapy for Hemophilia
Hemophilia is a congenital hemorrhagic disease caused by genetic abnormalities in coagulation factor Ⅷ or factor Ⅸ. Current conventional therapy to prevent bleeding requires frequent intravenous injections of coagulation factor concentrates from early ...

Profiling of Glycan Receptors for Minute Virus of Mice in Permissive Cell Lines Towards Understanding the Mechanism of Cell Recognition [PDF]
The recognition of sialic acids by two strains of minute virus of mice (MVM), MVMp (prototype) and MVMi (immunosuppressive), is an essential requirement for successful infection.

In vivo genetic manipulation of inner ear connexin expression by bovine adeno-Associated viral vectors [PDF]
We have previously shown that in vitro transduction with bovine adeno-associated viral (BAAV) vectors restores connexin expression and rescues gap junction coupling in cochlear organotypic cultures from connexin-deficient mice that are models DFNB1 ...

Chapparvoviruses occur in at least three vertebrate classes and have a broad biogeographic distribution [PDF]
Chapparvoviruses are a highly divergent group of parvoviruses (family Parvoviridae) that have recently been identified via metagenomic sampling of animal faeces.
