Mutation in the alpha1 antitrypsin (AAT) gene leads to low circulating levels of AAT, which is associated with several disease processes including pulmonary emphysema. The standard of care relies on substitution with plasma-purified AAT. We studied a novel approach to obtain sustained therapeutic levels of circulating AAT using nonviral in vivo electroporation-mediated gene transfer to the liver.

Abstract

Mutation in the alpha1 antitrypsin (AAT) gene leads to low circulating levels of AAT, which is associated with several disease processes including pulmonary emphysema. The standard of care relies on substitution with plasma-purified AAT. We studied a novel approach to obtain sustained therapeutic levels of circulating AAT using nonviral in vivo electroporation-mediated gene transfer to the liver.
