Adeno‐associated virus serotype 2 capsid variants for improved liver‐directed gene therapy
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Background and Aims Current liver‐directed gene therapies look for adeno‐associated virus (AAV) vectors with improved efficacy. With this background, capsid engineering is explored. Whereas shuffled capsid library screenings have resulted in potent liver targeting variants with one first vector in human clinical trials, modifying natural ...

PRTFDC1 is a genetic modifier of HPRT-deficiency in the mouse. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Lesch-Nyhan disease (LND) is a severe X-linked neurological disorder caused by a deficiency of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT). In contrast, HPRT-deficiency in the mouse does not result in the profound phenotypes such as self-injurious ...
