About CGT2
The goal of the CGT2 project is to develop a gene therapy treatment for partial lipodystrophy, a rare disease characterized by altered fat distribution on the body. Patients suffer from body fat atrophy. In the absence of normal body fat, various organs begin to accumulate fat, leading on to serious metabolic complications, including extreme insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia (elevated values of blood fat triglyceride) and liver steatosis (fatty liver). There are currently a few symptom-relieving treatments for lipodystrophy, but no therapy that targets the root cause of the disease. For patients suffering from partial lipodystrophy, there are currently no treatments at all.
