Abstract excerpt
Trinucleotide repeats are responsible for many genetic diseases. Previous studies have shown that duplex RNAs (dsRNAs) can be used to target expression of a mutant repeat allele while leaving expression of the wild-type allele untouched, creating opportunities for allele-selective inhibition and better therapeutic outcomes. In contrast to successes with other genes, we report here that we cannot achieve...
