DOI: 10.1002/mdc3.13685
Abstract: Aromatic l‐amino acid decarboxylase deficiency (AADCD) is a rare, early‐onset, dyskinetic encephalopathy mostly reflecting a defective synthesis of brain dopamine and serotonin. Intracerebral gene delivery (GD) provided a significant improvement among AADCD patients (mean age,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/mds.27993
Abstract: As Parkinson's disease progresses, levodopa treatment loses efficacy, partly through the loss of the endogenous dopamine‐synthesizing enzyme L‐amino acid decarboxylase (AADC). In the phase I PD‐1101 study, putaminal administration of VY‐AADC01, an investigational adeno‐associated virus… read more here.
