Abstract excerpt
gene. By intentionally introducing an additional mismatch into the siRNA design, we achieved enhanced specificity toward the mutant allele. Treatment of patient-derived fibroblasts effectively reduced the levels of mutant transcripts while maintaining unaltered wild-type transcript levels, rescuing the secretion and assembly of collagen VI matrix by reducing the dominant-negative effect of mutant chains. Our...
