Journal ArticleDOI

Putative X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy gene shares unexpected homology with ABC transporters

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used positional cloning to identify a gene partially deleted in 6 of 85 independent patients with Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) and two identical deletions were detected in two brothers presenting with different clinical ALD phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

AAV-mediated intramuscular delivery of myotubularin corrects the myotubular myopathy phenotype in targeted murine muscle and suggests a function in plasma membrane homeostasis

TL;DR: A single intramuscular injection of this vector in symptomatic Mtm1-deficient mice ameliorates the pathological phenotype in the targeted muscle and provides a proof-of-principle that local delivery of an AAV vector expressing myotubularin can improve the motor capacities of XLMTM muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adeno-associated virus pseudotype 5 vector improves gene transfer in arthritic joints.

TL;DR: In this paper, the transduction efficiency of different AAV serotypes encoding murine secreted alkaline phosphatase (mSEAP) or Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase for intraarticular gene delivery in an experimental model of rheumatoid arthritis was compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abnormal messenger RNA expression and a missense mutation in patients with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy

TL;DR: Messenger RNA expression in fibroblasts from 6 unrelated ALD patients is reported, providing further evidence that this candidate gene is indeed the ALD gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adrenoleukodystrophy gene: unexpected homology to a protein involved in peroxisome biogenesis.

TL;DR: Using positional cloning strategies, a gene which was found partially deleted in 7% of 85 independent patients with ALD is identified and encodes a putative peroxisomal transporter molecule which may be involved in the import or anchoring of VLCFA-CoA synthetase.
