Design and Analysis of Effects of Triplet Repeat Oligonucleotides in Cell Models for Myotonic Dystrophy
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is caused by DM protein kinase (DMPK) transcripts containing an expanded (CUG)n repeat. Antisense oligonucleotide (AON)-mediated suppression of these mutant RNAs is considered a promising therapeutic strategy for this severe disorder. Earlier, we identified a 2'-O-methyl (2'-OMe) phosphorothioate (PT)-modified (CAG)7 oligo (PS58), which selectively silences mutant DMPK transcripts...
