Abstract

Leukodystrophies (LDs) are rare, often devastating genetic disorders with neurologic symptoms. There are currently no disease‐specific therapeutic approaches for these diseases. In this review we use metachromatic leukodystrophy as an example to outline in the brief the therapeutic approaches to MLD that have been tested in animal models and in clinical trials, such as enzyme‐replacement therapy, bone marrow/umbilical cord blood transplants, ex vivo transplantation of genetically modified hematopoietic stem cells, and gene therapy. These studies suggest that to be successful the ideal therapy for MLD must provide persistent and high level expression of the deficient gene, arylsulfatase A in the CNS. Gene therapy using adeno‐associated viruses is therefore the ideal choice for clinical development as it provides the best balance of potential for efficacy with reduced safety risk. Here we have summarized the published preclinical data from our group and from others that support the use of a gene therapy with AAVrh.10 serotype for clinical development as a treatment for MLD, and as an example of the potential of gene therapy for LDs especially for Krabbe disease, which is the focus of this special issue. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

  • The AAV serotypes most commonly used for clinical trials to date are AAV5, AAV9, and AAVrh.10.

    “Of these AAV serotypes, the most commonly used for clinical trials to date are AAV5, AAV9, and AAVrh.10.”

    From AAVrh.10-Mediated APOE2 Central Nervous System Gene Therapy for APOE4-Associated Alzheimer's Disease (2018) · cites this paper as [71]

    The Overview of Adeno-associated Virus-mediated CNS Gene Therapy discusses AAV5, AAV9, and AAVrh.10, and Lessons Learned and Path Forward describes an AAVrh.10 clinical trial. But the paper does not say these are the most commonly used serotypes in clinical trials; its discussion of AAV5 concerns earlier studies, and it mentions AAV9 as a discovered serotype, not as a clinical-trial vector.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
