We investigated the feasibility of prenatal/neonatal gene therapy of both metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) and hypophosphatasia (HPP) model mice using adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors. After intravenous injection of AAV vector into neonatal MLD mice, global gene transfer into the brain across the BBB and long term gene expression without immune reaction were detected. Significant improvement of neurological symptoms was observed after treatment. The fetuses of HPP mice underwent transuterine intraperitoneal injection of AAV vector. Live-born mice showed improved mineralization, phenotypic correction and prolonged survival. These data demonstrated that systemic injection of AAV vector in the perinatal period is an effective strategy for the treatment of severe genetic diseases such as MLD and HPP.
