[0241] Rescuing obesity from haploid insufficiency
[0242] I. Introduction
[0243] More than 300 genes are known to contribute to human disease due to haploinsufficiency (1, 2), resulting in a wide range of phenotypes including cancer, neurological disorders, developmental disorders, immune disorders, metabolic disorders, infertility, renal disease, limb deformities etc. (1). Large-scale exome sequencing analysis estimated a total of 3230 human genes that may be heterozygous for loss-of-function (LoF) intolerance (3). Gene therapy holds great promise for correcting haploid insufficiency disorders by inserting one or more functionally recombinant copies of a mutated gene. Currently, 2300 gene therapy clinical trials are underway, most of which use adeno-associated virus (AAV) to deliver recombinant genes (4). AAV is a preferred method of gene delivery because of its ability to deliver DNA without integration into the genome, without causing pathogenicity and providing long...
