Abstract excerpt
The European Medicines Agency has expressed concern regarding (1) the potential for antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) therapeutics to induce sequence-specific mutation at genomic DNA and (2) the capability of ASO degradation products (nucleotide analogues) to incorporate into newly synthesized genomic DNA via DNA polymerase and cause mutation if base pairing occurs with reduced fidelity. Treating human...
