May 05, 2022New Publication from Dystrogen Gene Therapies Demonstrates that Artificial miRNA Lowers Mutant Huntingtin Level in the YAC128 Model of Huntington's Disease.


The therapy was well tolerated and did not show signs of toxicity during the course of the experiment up to 20 weeks post injection. The treatment reduced the spleen weight to values characteristic of healthy mice and improved motor performance on the static rod test. These data demonstrate that the CAG-targeting strategy and amiRNA have the potential to become a next generation therapeutic for treatment of Huntington's Disease.

11-16 June 2019Krakow, PLThe 24th Annual Meeting of the RNA SocietyScientist from Dystrogene presented genetic tools used for silencing the expression of mutated genes containing expanded CAG repeats targeting short hairpin RNAs used to reduce the level of mutant huntingtin. Presented tools may serve as a universal allele – selective reagents for polyQ diseases such as: Huntington’s disease (HD), spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) and dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA).
