Protein Engineering Micro-ERCC6 Gene Therapy Candidates for Cockayne Syndrome Type B
TS-005572 — This novel gene replacement strategy uses an adeno-associated viral vector to treat Cockayne syndrome type B (CSB). CSB is a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in the ERCC6 or ERCC8 genes, both of which are responsible for DNA repair, causing tremors, ataxia, seizures, and cachectic dwarfism, significantly impacting their quality of life. An AAV-based gene replacement therapy will effectively combat this disorder by delivering a functional copy of the defective gene into target cells, thereby restoring normal gene expression.

Strong Ubiquitous Mini-Promoters for AAV-Based Gene Therapy
TS-004616 — A method for targeted delivery and constitutive expression of large genes using adeno-associated viral (AAVs) vectors that contain ubiquitous mini-promoters. Incorporation of the compact mini-promoters will increase the cargo space of the AAVs such that larger genes can be packaged into the vectors.
Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors are highly efficacious gene therapy vectors are safe and highly efficacious for gene therapy and have advanced to clinical trials for a number of disorders. However, AAV vectors have a limited cargo capacity (4.7 kilobase pairs), thus over 20% of human genes are …
