Compositions and methods are provided for treating Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) in a subject. In one aspect, a recombinant adeno-associated viral vector is provided which includes a nucleic acid molecule comprising a sequence encoding Lebercilin. In another aspect, Lebercilin has an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1. In yet another aspect, the nucleic acid molecule has a sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3 or a variant thereof. In desired embodiments, the subject is human, cat, dog, sheep, or non-human primate.

The present invention relates to a method for treating ocular disease in a subject in need thereof comprising a step of administering to said subject a therapeutically amount of an inhibitor of SOX21 gene expression and/or activity. By studying a mouse model of congenital microcoria, the inventors demonstrate that this ultra-rare and purely ocular disease is due to unanticipated complex mechanisms linked with 3D regulation of gene expression. They propose that the disease is due to the illegitimate expression of a transcription factor, SOX21, induced by the adoption of a DCT enhancer(s). They show that SOX21 binds to a regulatory region of the Tgfβ2 gene and the inventors demonstrate overexpression of this trophic factor in the iris and accumulation of its product in the aqueous humor of the mouse carrying the minimal MCOR deletion which recapitulates the observed accumulation in patients with POAG and one of our patient with MCOR.

Disclosed are processes for preparing [(3-hydroxypyridine-2-carbonyl)amino]-alkanoic acids, derivatives, inter alia, 5-aryl substituted and 5-heteroaryl substituted [(3-hydroxypyridine-2-carbonyl]amino}acetic acids. Further disclosed are methods for making prodrugs of [(3-hydroxypyridine-2-carbonyl)-amino]acetic acids, for example, [(3-hydroxypyridine-2-carbonyl]amino}acetic acid esters and {[3-hydroxypyridine-2-carbonyl]amino}acetic acid amides. The disclosed compounds are useful as prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors or for treating conditions wherein prolyl hydroxylase inhibition is desired.

The invention provides anti-cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) antibodies and methods of using the same.

The present disclosure relates generally to modulators of Cot (cancer Osaka thyroid) and methods of use and manufacture thereof.

Provided herein are variant adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid proteins having one or more modifications in amino acid sequence relative to a parental AAV capsid protein, which, when present in an AAV virion, confer increased infectivity of one or more types of retinal cells as compared to the infectivity of the retinal cells by an AAV virion comprising the unmodified parental AAV capsid protein. Also provided are recombinant AAV virions and pharmaceutical compositions thereof comprising a variant AAV capsid protein as described herein, methods of making these rAAV capsid proteins and virions, and methods for using these rAAV capsid proteins and virions in research and clinical practice, for example in, e.g., the delivery of nucleic acid sequences to one or more ceils of the retina for the treatment of retinal disorders and diseases.
