Voretigene neparvovec is an adeno-associated virus serotype 2 (AAV2) gene therapy vector that delivers a functional copy of the RPE65 gene to retinal pigment epithelial cells in patients with biallelic RPE65 mutation-associated retinal dystrophy (a form of Leber congenital amaurosis or early-onset severe retinal dystrophy). RPE65 encodes the retinoid isomerohydrolase essential for the visual cycle, and its restoration improves light sensitivity and visual function in affected patients. It was the first directly administered gene therapy approved in the United States.
