A new strategy for treating a variety of diseases known as RNA-repeat expansion disorders, which affect millions of people, has shown promise in proof-of-principle tests conducted by scientists at Scripps Research.
The results suggest that someday, a handful of well-targeted drugs might be able to treat the more than 40 human disordersincluding Huntington’s disease and variants of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)that arise from RNA-repeat expansions.
