Herein, we evaluated a gene therapy approach using an episomal adeno-associated viral 2/8 (AAV2/8) vector that encodes the human GLA cDNA driven by a liver-specific expression cassette in a mouse model of FD that lacks α-Gal A activity and progressively accumulates Gb3 and Lyso-Gb3 in plasma and tissues. The gene discussed is GLA; the disease is Fabry disease.
