Efficacy of adeno-associated virus gene therapy in a MNGIE murine model enhanced by chronic exposure to nucleosides

Background: Preclinical studies have shown that gene therapy is a feasible approach to treat mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE). However, the genetic murine model of the disease (Tymp/Upp1 double knockout, dKO) has a limited functional phenotype beyond the metabolic imbala...
