Reversal of blindness in animal models of leber congenital amaurosis using optimized AAV2-mediated gene transfer.
We evaluated the safety and efficacy of an optimized adeno-associated virus (AAV; AAV2.RPE65) in animal models of the RPE65 form of Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA). Protein expression was optimized by addition of a modified Kozak sequence at the translational start site of hRPE65. Modifications in AAV production and delivery included use of a long stuffer sequence to prevent reverse packaging ...

متن کاملDisc oedema in congenital amaurosis of Leber.
Since it was first described by Theodor Leber as 'pigmentary retinitis with congenital amaurosis' (Leber, I867), the entity which bears his name has been the subject of sporadic reports defining its clinical and pathological characteristics. It accounted for about io per cent of the blindness in Sweden (Alstrom and Olsen, 1957) and i8 per cent among children in a series in Holland (SchappertKim...
متن کاملMolecular genetics of Leber congenital amaurosis.
Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is the most common inherited cause of blindness in childhood and is characterised by a severe retinal dystrophy before the age of one year. Six genes have been identified that together account for approximately half of all LCA patients. These genes are expressed preferentially in the retina or the retinal pigment epithelium. Their putative functions are quite di...
