摘要:
The invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) comprising repetitive trinucleotide units for use in the treatment or prevention of genetic eye diseases, preferably eye dystrophy disorders caused by RNA toxicity such as Fuch's Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD). The oligonucleotides of the present invention are used to target trinucleotide repeat (TNR) sequence expansions present in intron sequences, to prevent the disease-related sequestration of cellular proteins that interact with such TNR expansions.
