Reprogramming translation for rare disease therapy: challenges posed by large genes

Discusses translation-reprogramming strategies as alternatives to dual-AAV gene replacement for treating rare large-gene disorders and sensory loss.

Key Takeaways
  • Delineates a breakthrough in the treatment of inherited hearing loss through gene therapy
  • Bespoke cell and gene therapy approach is revolutionizing precision medicine for genetically diverse diseases
  • This gene was linked to hereditary deafness in 1999 by Christine Petit’s group
