Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the human tau gene cause frontotemporal dementia and Parkinsonism associated with chromosome 17 (FTDP-17). One of the major disease mechanisms in FTDP-17 is the increased inclusion of tau exon 10 during pre-mRNA splicing. Here we show that modified oligonucleotides directed against the tau exon 10 splice junctions suppress inclusion of tau exon 10. The effect is mediated by the formation of a stable...
