TREATMENT OF MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDOSIS IVA

Abstract:

Provided herein are gene therapy methods for the treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (MPS IVA) involving the use of recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) to deliver human N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (hGALNS) to the bone of a human subject diagnosed with MPS IVA. Also provided herein are rAAVs that can be used in the gene therapy methods and methods of making such rAAVs.
