Gene therapy for treating propionic acidemia
This present disclosure provides recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) and methods of their use in gene therapy for treating propionic acidemia (PA). Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a rAAV of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. These pharmaceutical compositions may be useful in gene therapy for the treatment of PA caused by a mutation in propionyl-CoA carboxylase α-subunit (PCCA) or a mutation in propionyl-CoA carboxylase β-subunit (PCCB).
1 . A polynucleotide which comprises a nucleic acid sequence at least 90% identical, at least 95% identical, at least 99% identical, or 100% identical to SEQ ID NO: 30 or SEQ ID NO: 31.
2 . An isolated host cell comprising the polynucleotide of claim 1 , wherein the isolated host cell is capable of producing an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector.
3 . The isolated host cell of claim 2 , wherein the host cell is selected from a HeLa, Cos-7, HEK293, A549, BHK, Vero, RD, HT-1080, ARPE-19, and MRC-5 cell.
