Safety and Efficacy of RNAi Therapy for Transthyretin Amyloidosis
28 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Transthyretin amyloidosis is caused by the deposition of hepatocyte-derived transthyretin amyloid in peripheral nerves and the heart. A therapeutic approach mediated by RNA interference (RNAi) could reduce the production of transthyretin. METHODS: We identified a potent antitransthyretin small interfering RNA, which was encapsulated in two distinct first- and second-generation formulations of lipid...
