STRATEGY FOR SUPPRESSING THE EXPRESSION OF AN ENDOGENEOUS GENE BY USING COMPOUNDS THAT ARE ABLE TO BIND TO THE NON-CODING REGIONS OF THE GENE TO BE SUPPRESSED

摘要

The invention provides strategy for suppressing expression of an endogenous gene, wherein said strategy comprises providing suppression effectors able to bind to the non-coding regions of a gene to be suppressed, to prevent the functional expression thereof. The suppression effectors may be antisense nucleic acids, and the non-coding regions can include the transcribed but non-translated regions of a gene. The strategy can also introduce a replacement gene.
