Method for treating systemic DNA mutation disease

摘要

The invention is directed to treatment of systemic DNA mutation diseases accompanied with development of somatic mosaicism and elevation of blood extracellular DNA. The inventive method comprises introducing a DNASE enzyme into the systemic blood circulation of a patient in doses and regimens which are sufficient to decrease average molecular weight of circulating extracellular blood DNA in the blood of said patient.

主权项

1. A method for treating an acute ischemic condition of an organ which ischemic condition is caused by atherosclerosis in a patient in need thereof, wherein said method comprises introducing a DNase enzyme into the blood circulation of said patient, wherein said DNase enzyme is administered in a dose and regimen which is sufficient to decrease the average molecular weight of extracellular blood DNA in the blood of said patient as measured by gel electrophoresis of extracellular blood DNA fraction from the blood of said patient.
