The expanded CAG repeat in the huntingtin gene as target for therapeutic RNA modulation throughout the HD mouse brain.

The expanded CAG repeat in the huntingtin gene as target for therapeutic RNA modulation throughout the HD mouse brain.

The aim of these studies was to demonstrate the therapeutic capacity of an antisense oligonucleotide with the sequence (CUG)7 targeting the expanded CAG repeat in huntingtin (HTT) mRNA in vivo in the R6/2 N-terminal fragment and Q175 knock-in Huntington's disease (HD) mouse models. In a first s...
