While the meeting provided many symposiums, lectures, and scientific sessions this report mainly focuses on one of the sessions on the “Gene Therapy for central nervous system (CNS) Diseases” and specifically on the “Gene Therapy for the globoid cell leukodystrophy or Krabbe disease. Two presentations focused on this subject utilizing two animal models of this disease: mice and dog models. Different serotypes of adeno-associate viral vectors (AAV) alone or in combination with bone marrow transplantations were used in these research projects.
