Disease-causing gene

Molecular classification

01

Overview

The disease-causing gene that is being targeted for replacement or supplementation via adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector delivery. The specific gene and its function depend on the disease being treated. AAV vectors are engineered to deliver a functional copy of the gene to target cells, compensating for the defective or missing endogenous gene. The cell-surface molecules (receptors) that mediate uptake of specific AAV serotypes are also considered targets to allow efficient gene delivery. Examples include fibroblast/hepatocyte growth factor receptor, integrins αVβ5/α5β1, epidermal growth factor receptor, platelet-derived growth factor receptor and AAVR.
