THERAPEUTIC ADENO-ASSOCIATED VIRUS DELIVERY OF FUKUTIN RELATED PROTEIN (FKRP) FOR TREATING DYSTROGLYCANOPATHY. DISORDERS INCLUDING LIMB GIRDLE 21 (LGMD21)

Disclosed herein are various optimized nucleic acids encoding the fukutin-related protein (FKRP). Recombinant vectors comprising the optimized nucleic acid (e.g. operatively linked to a muscle specific promoter), such as recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors, for expressing the protein (e.g. in...

Zusammenfassung:Disclosed herein are various optimized nucleic acids encoding the fukutin-related protein (FKRP). Recombinant vectors comprising the optimized nucleic acid (e.g. operatively linked to a muscle specific promoter), such as recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors, for expressing the protein (e.g. in skeletal and cardiac muscle), and therapeutic compositions contains the vectors are also disclosed. Therapeutic methods of administration of the vectors to a subject for the treatment of a subject with a dystroglycanopathy disorder (e.g., limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2I) are also disclosed.
