Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gene correction is an alternative approach to replacement gene therapy. By correcting mutations within the genome, some of the barriers to effective gene therapy are avoided. Homologous nucleic acid sequences can correct mutations by inducing recombination or mismatch repair. Recently, encouraging data have been presented using both short DNA fragments (SDFs) and RNA-DNA oligonucleotides (RDOs) in...
