Description of the project<\/strong><\/h5>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by an abnormal head, loss of motor functions, epilepsy and mild mental decline. The disease is caused by mutations in two genes named MLC1 and GLIALCAM. There are no therapies for MLC patients, only palliative treatment. Interestingly, some patients with GLIALCAM mutations show a remitting phenotype, suggesting that it may be possible to improve the phenotype of MLC patients, even at later stages of the disease.<\/p>\n

We present here a gene therapy preclinical therapeutic approach for MLC patients using two animal models of the disease, the Mlc1 and the GlialCAM knock-out mice. Therapeutic genes will be delivered by one-time treatment to the CNS, overcoming the difficulty of crossing the blood-brain barrier. We hope that the results of this project will be able to provide the first therapeutic tools for patients affected with MLC and may have also implications to treat other diseases affecting the myelin.<\/p>\n
