Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy based on self-inactivating integrating vectors has proven unprecedented therapeutic potential in inherited neurometabolic diseases (NMDs). However, phenotypic effects are delayed after treatment likely due to the slow replacement of resident microglia by transplant-derived cells that hampers the broad application of this approach. Moreover, unregulated gene expression driven by the in-use promoters could in the long term cause unwanted effects. Finally, recent events suggest that the treated patients might be at risk of developing side effects related to vector integration. Therefore, novel strategies anticipating therapeutic benefit and reducing…
