Abstract excerpt
Hereditary sensory neuropathy type IA (HSN1A) is a rare neurodegenerative condition caused by dominant mutations in the Serine Palmitoyl Transferase Long Chain base subunit 1 (SPTLC1) gene. There is no treatment available. Allele-specific silencing by antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to preferentially silence the mutant transcripts has shown therapeutic promise for dominant gain-of-function genetic disorders. In...
