Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a vector for use in the treatment of a polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia, which vector comprises cholesterol 24-hydroxylase encoding nucleic acid.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of treatment of a Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia, comprising administering a vector which comprises cholesterol 24-hydroxylase encoding nucleic acid to a patient in need thereof. 2. The method of treatment of a Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia according to claim 1 , wherein the Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia is selected from the group of Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1), Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2), Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6), Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) and Spinocerebellar ataxia type 17 (SCA17). 3. The method of treatment of a Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia according to claim 1 , wherein the Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia is Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). 4. The method of treatment of a Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia according to claim 1 , wherein the vector comprises a nucleic acid sequence that encodes the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 2. 5. The method of treatment of a Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia according to claim 1 , wherein the vector comprises the nucleic acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 1. 6. The method of treatment of a Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia according to claim 1 , wherein the vector is selected from the group of adenovirus, lentivirus, retrovirus, herpesvirus and Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) vectors. 7. The method of treatment of a Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia according to claim 1 , wherein the vector is an AAV vector. 8. The method of treatment of a Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia according to claim 7 , wherein the vector is an AAV9 or AAV10 vector. 9. The method of treatment of a Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia according to claim 7 , wherein the vector is an AAVrh.10. 10. The method of treatment of a Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia according to claim 1 , wherein the vector is administered directly into the brain of the patient. 11. The method of treatment of a Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia according to claim 9 , wherein the vector is administered in at least a region of the brain selected from the group of cerebellum, brainstem, substantia nigra, striatum, frontotemporal lobes and visual cortex. 12. The method of treatment of a Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia according to claim 1 , wherein the vector is administered into the spinal cord of the patient. 13. The method of treatment of a Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia according to claim 1 , wherein the vector is administered by intravascular, intravenous, intranasal, intraventricular or intrathecal injection. 14. The method of treatment of a Polyglutamine repeat spinocerebellar ataxia according to claim 1 , comprising the administration of a pharmaceutical composition which comprises a therapeutically effective amount of the vector to the patient.
