The present invention relates to the discovery of an effective treatment for a variety of Huntington's disease (HD). The present invention utilizes RNA silencing technology (e.g. RNAi) against single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Huntingtin (htt) gene encoding the dominant, gain-of-function mutant Huntington protein, thereby resulting in an effective treatment for the gain-of-function disease.
La présente invention concerne la découverte d'un traitement efficace contre diverses formes de la chorée de Huntington (HD). L'invention met en AEuvre la technique de silençage de l'ARN (p. ex. l'ARNi) contre les polymorphismes mononucléotidiques (SNP) dans le gène de Huntington (htt) codant la protéine de Huntington mutante dominante à gain de fonction, ce qui donne un traitement efficace contre cette maladie liée à un gain de fonction.
