The outcome of the first pilot study of liver-directed gene therapy is reported here. Five patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) ranging in age from 7 to 41 years were enrolled; each patient tolerated the procedure well without significant complications. Transgene expression was detected in a limited number of hepatocytes of liver tissue harvested four months after gene transfer from all five patients. Significant and prolonged reductions in low density lipoprotein (LDL… Expand
