The invention provides for a method for selectively reducing the expression of a mutant mRNA and/or protein having an expanded nucleotide repeat relative to a wild-type mRNA, comprising contacting a cell with an antisense oligonucleotide of sufficient length and complementarity to the expanded nucleotide repeat. More particularly it relates to selectively reducing the expression of mutant Huntington protein associated with Huntington's disease. The antisense oligonucleotide comprising either a nucleotide or a repeated three nucleotide sequence as defined in the claims.
该发明提供了一种选择性减少具有扩展核苷酸重复相对于野生型mRNA的突变型mRNA和/或蛋白质表达的方法,包括将长度和互补性足够的反义寡核苷酸与细胞接触。更具体地,它涉及选择性减少与亨廷顿病相关的突变亨廷顿蛋白的表达。反义寡核苷酸包括在权利要求中定义的核苷酸或重复的三核苷酸序列。
