HYBRID PROMOTERS AND THEIR USES IN THERAPY, NOTABLY FOR TREATING TYPE II COLLAGENOPATHIES

摘要

The present invention relates to hybrid promoters with a specific design, comprising fragments of the hCOL2A1 promoter and fragments of the hEF1α promoter, which may be of interest in therapy, particularly in gene therapy. Notably, they may be introduced into a vector for expressing a nucleic acid sequence of interest. They may be particularly useful for treating skeletal dysplasia, such as type II collagenopathies; or articular diseases.
