Single and Dual Vector Gene Therapy with AAV9-PHP.B Rescues Hearing in Tmc1 Mutant Mice

Sofia Carmen Suzanne Spataro, Paola Andrea Solanes Vega

AAV-mediated gene therapy is a promising approach for treating genetic hearing loss. Replacement or editing of the Tmc1 gene, encoding hair cell mechanosensory ion channels, is effective for hearing restoration in mice with some limitations. Efficient resc ...

Efficient viral transduction in mouse inner ear hair cells with utricle injection and AAV9-PHP.B

Bernard Schneider, Paola Andrea Solanes Vega

Viral delivery of exogenous coding sequences into the inner ear has the potential for therapeutic benefit for patients suffering genetic or acquired hearing loss. To devise improved strategies for viral delivery, we investigated two injection techniques, r ...

Delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 using AAV-PHP.B in the inner ear leads to allele-specific inactivation of the mutated Tmc1 allele and protects auditory function in Beethoven mice

Bernard Schneider, Sofia Carmen Suzanne Spataro, Paola Andrea Solanes Vega

Hearing Loss (HL) is the most prevalent sensorineural disorder, affecting 360 million people worldwide. As genetic causes lead to 50% of pre-lingual deafness, gene therapy is considered as a potential therapeutic strategy. Mutations in the TMC1 gene are li ...

Allele-specific gene editing prevents deafness in a model of dominant progressive hearing loss

Bernard Schneider, Sofia Carmen Suzanne Spataro, Paola Andrea Solanes Vega

Since most dominant human mutations are single nucleotide substitutions(1,2), we explored gene editing strategies to disrupt dominant mutations efficiently and selectively without affecting wild-type alleles. However, single nucleotide discrimination can b ...
