Design of RNAi hairpins for mutation-specific silencing of ataxin-7 and correction of a SCA7 phenotype.

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 is a polyglutamine disorder caused by an expanded CAG repeat mutation that results in neurodegeneration. Since no treatment exists for this chronic disease, novel therapies such post-transcriptional RNA interference-based gene silencing are under investigation, in parti...
