Ribozyme-mediated trans-splicing of a trinucleotide repeat.
- Abstract:
-
Trinucleotide repeat expansions (TREs) are a recently described class of mutations characterized by a change in the size of the genomic fragment due to amplification of the repeated unit. A number of diseases have been attributed to TRE, including Huntington disease and myotonic dystrophy (DM), but attempts at genetic therapy have yet to prove successful. A potential therapeutic approach would be to repair the expanded repeat using the trans-splicing ability of group I intron ribozymes. We ha...
