Neurological disorders - disorders of the brain, spine and associated nerves -
are a leading contributor to global disease burden with a shockingly large
associated economic cost. Various treatment approaches - pharmaceutical
medication, device-based therapy, physiotherapy, surgical intervention, among
others - have been explored to alleviate the resulting extent of human suffering.
In recent years, gene therapy using viral vectors - encoding a therapeutic gene
or inhibitory RNA into a "gutted" viral capsid and supplying it to the nervous
system - has emerged as a clinically viable option for therapy of brain
disorders. In this Review, we provide an overview of the current state and
advances in the field of viral vector-mediated gene therapy for neurological
disorders. Vector tools and delivery methods have evolved considerably over
recent years, with the goal of providing greater and safer genetic access to the
central nervous system. Better etiological understanding of brain disorders has
concurrently led to identification of improved therapeutic targets. We focus on
the vector technology, as well as preclinical and clinical progress made thus far
for brain cancer and various neurodegenerative and neurometabolic disorders, and
point out the challenges and limitations that accompany this new medical
modality. Finally, we explore the directions that neurological gene therapy is
likely to evolve towards in the future. This article is part of the Special Issue
entitled "Beyond small molecules for neurological disorders".
