Abstract:
The invention provides nucleic acids encoding acid α-glucosidase (GAA). In certain embodiments, nucleic acids have greater than about 86% sequence identity to a sequence selected from the group consisting of any of the sequences set forth as SEQ ID NOs:1-5. In certain embodiments, nucleic acids encoding acid α-glucosidase (GAA) contain less than 127 CpG dinucleotides. Expression cassettes, vectors, cells and cell lines and methods of using such nucleic acids encoding acid α-glucosidase (GAA) are also provided.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are compositions and methods of treating and/or correcting ocular disease in a subject, such as a mammal (e.g., human) eye using an Adeno-associated virus (AAV) system. The AAV system employs a nucleic acid encoding a CRISPR-Cas9 system for targeted gene disruption or correction.

Abstract:
Methods of delivering a transgene to a subject in need thereof are described. In particular, the methods include administering to the subject (i) a phagocyte-depleting agent, and (ii) a pharmaceutical composition comprising a non-viral vector comprising the transgene and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The methods can be used to treat a subject in need of treatment for a disease caused by a loss of function or activity of a protein, or to treat a subject in need of treatment for a disease caused by a gain of function activity or expression of a protein.
Abstract:
CpG reduced nucleic acid variants encoding FVIII protein and methods of use thereof are disclosed. In particular embodiments, CpG reduced nucleic acid variants encoding FVIII are expressed more efficiently by cells, are secreted at increased levels by cells over wild-type Factor VIII proteins, exhibit enhanced expression and/or activity over wild-type Factor VIII proteins or are packaged more efficiently into viral vectors.
