Genable Technologies is acquired by Spark Therapeutics and with it RhoNova
Genable, an Irish bio-pharmaceutical company developing novel gene therapies for the treatment of dominant genetic diseases has announced that it has completed a transaction which will see it become fully owned by Spark Therapeutics. Spark Therapeutics, a global leader in AAV-based gene therapy, has collaborated with Genable since 2014 in the development of RhoNova. RhoNova is a treatment developed by Genable to target rhodopsin-linked autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (RHO-adRP), an inherited retinal disease (IRD) that leads to blindness in many cases.
