Genetic Therapy of Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy: Where Are We? A Review [PDF]
Objectives: The incidence of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is growing, and with it, the unmet need for a corneal transplant. Among alternative treatment modalities, only genetic therapy represents a causal therapy.

Gene therapy for pediatric genetic kidney diseases
Genetic kidney disease is the main cause of chronic kidney disease in children. While the pathogenic genes associated with most genetic kidney diseases have been identified, the underlying mechanisms of disease initiation remain ambiguous, and effective ...

Biomimetic Peptides: A New Generation of Gene Transfer Vectors [PDF]
Gene therapy is a new approach that aims to modify defective genes or intracellular expression of therapeutic proteins, and this depends on the use of high-efficiency gene transfer systems.

Genetic diseases cause numerous complex and intractable pathologies. DNA sequences encoding each human's complexity and many disease risks are contained in the mitochondrial genome, nuclear genome, and microbial metagenome. Diagnosis of these diseases has unified around applications of next-generation DNA sequencing.

Achromatopsia: Genetics and Gene Therapy [PDF]
Achromatopsia (ACHM), also known as rod monochromatism or total color blindness, is an autosomal recessively inherited retinal disorder that affects the cones of the retina, the type of photoreceptors responsible for high-acuity daylight vision. ACHM is caused by pathogenic variants in one of six cone photoreceptor-expressed genes.

Genetics and Therapies for GM2 Gangliosidosis [PDF]
Tay-Sachs disease, caused by impaired β-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity, was the first GM2 gangliosidosis to be studied and one of the most severe and earliest lysosomal diseases to be described. The condition, associated with the pathological build-up of GM2 ganglioside, has acquired almost iconic status and serves as a paradigm in the study of ...
