New RNAi strategy for selective suppression of a mutant allele in polyglutamine disease.

Abstract excerpt

In gene therapy of dominantly inherited diseases with small interfering RNA (siRNA), mutant allele specific suppression may be necessary for diseases in which the defective gene normally has an important role. It is difficult, however, to design a mutant allele-specific siRNA for trinucleotide repeat diseases in which the difference of sequences is only repeat length. To overcome this problem, we use a new RNA...
