Methods and sequences to suppress primate huntington gene expression in vivo

摘要

Disclosed herein are sequences, molecules and methods used to suppress the expression of HD genes encoding for huntingtin protein in primates including Macaca mulatta and Homo sapiens. These sequences, molecules and methods aid in the study of the pathogenesis of HD and can also provide a treatment for this disease by reducing HD mRNA without causing death, locomotor impairment or cellular alterations of the Macaca mulatta and Homo sapiens.
