BV-101 is an adeno- associated virus (AAV) gene therapy vector that simultaneously addresses the metabolic dysfunction of diseased neurons and contributes to the clearance of the mutant huntingtin protein. In the UK, effort has been made to scale-up the country’s cell and gene therapy manufacturing capabilities.

The tool could also prove to be safer than conventional CRISPR-based gene therapies as it does not involve DNA editing, and thus would not cause potentially harmful off-target genomic changes. Genes can be switched on with a complementary tool called CRISPRon that has also been described in the paper.

1 August was first chosen as World RNA Day in 2018 as a play on AUG (adenine, uracil and guanine), a triple sequence of RNA (called a codon) that initiates protein synthesis by the cell. Since then, it has been observed to publicise the importance of this molecule in the generation of proteins in the body.
