Activating frataxin expression by repeat-targeted nucleic acids

Expansion of the trinucleotide GAA within an intronic FXN RNA can cause Friedreich's Ataxia (FRDA), an incurable genetic disorder. Here, the authors show that anti-GAA duplex RNAs or single-stranded locked nucleic acids increases FXN protein expression in patient-derived cells to levels similar...

Sumario:Expansion of the trinucleotide GAA within an intronic FXN RNA can cause Friedreich's Ataxia (FRDA), an incurable genetic disorder. Here, the authors show that anti-GAA duplex RNAs or single-stranded locked nucleic acids increases FXN protein expression in patient-derived cells to levels similar to wild-type cells.
