Abstract excerpt
Allele-specific gene silencing by antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) or small interference RNA (siRNA) has been used as a therapeutic approach for conditions caused by dominant gain-of-function mutations. We here present an antisense approach using gapmer ASO to diminish the dominant-negative effect in Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) caused by dominant mutation in one of the COL6A genes. We provide the...
