CHST6 Mini Gene - CHST6 Expression Construct With Native Promoter (UCLA Case No. 2023-301)

UCLA researchers from the Department of Human Genetics and Department of Ophthalmology have developed a mini gene encoding a protein which is mutated in macular corneal dystrophy, leading to a potential gene therapy for this disorder. BACKGROUND: Macular corneal dystrophy (MCD) is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the CHST6 gene, which...
