Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease is an incurable neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of a CAG trinucleotide repeat within one allele of the huntingtin (HTT) gene. Agents that block expression of mutant HTT and preserve expression of wild-type HTT target the cause of the disease and are an alternative for therapy. We have previously demonstrated that mismatch-containing duplex RNAs complementary to the expanded...
