AAV9-mediated SH3TC2 gene replacement therapy targeted to Schwann cells for the treatment of CMT4C. [PDF]
Type 4C Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT4C) demyelinating neuropathy is caused by autosomal recessive SH3TC2 gene mutations. SH3TC2 is highly expressed in myelinating Schwann cells. CMT4C is a childhood-onset progressive disease without effective treatment. Here,

Gene replacement therapy in a schwannoma mouse model of neurofibromatosis type 2. [PDF]
Loss of function of the neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) tumor suppressor gene leads to the formation of schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas, comprising ∼50% of all sporadic cases of primary nervous system tumors.

Gene therapy – Principles and applications
The concept of gene therapy dates back to the 1960s and 1970s and it is yet to come of age, as there is a paucity of reliable, long-term data on the safety and efficacy of this novel therapy.

Feasibility of using NF1-GRD and AAV for gene replacement therapy in NF1-associated tumors. [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis type 1, including the highly aggressive malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs), is featured by the loss of functional neurofibromin 1 (NF1) protein resulting from genetic alterations.
