Gene therapy composition for treating npc1 using aav vectors
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11905523B2) discloses an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector designed for gene therapy applications. The vector includes a protein capsid with a specific capsid protein subunit sequence and a nucleic acid containing a transfer cassette. The transfer cassette consists of various elements, including inverted terminal repeats, a promoter, a transgene encoding a Niemann-Pick intracellular cholesterol transporter 1 (NPC1) protein, a polyadenylation signal, and more. Additionally, the vector may contain an intronic sequence and an enhancer to enhance its therapeutic efficacy.
Furthermore, the patent covers the use of this AAV vector in compositions, cells, and methods for treating individuals with Neimann-Pick Disease Type C. By administering an effective amount of the AAV vector to a subject in need, particularly human subjects, the method aims to address the genetic disorder by delivering the NPC1 protein-encoding transgene. The inclusion of specific sequences and elements in the vector, as outlined in the claims, ensures the targeted and efficient delivery of the therapeutic gene for potential clinical applications in treating this rare genetic condition.
