  • Publication number: 20240352459
    Abstract: The present invention is related to the treatment of muscular dystrophy. In particular, compositions of short interfering ribonucleic acids (siRNAs) Eire contemplated that are targeted to different portions of a DUX4 messenger ribonucleic acid molecule. Preferably, these siRNAs are double stranded having a sense strand of fifteen (15) nucleotides. When applied as a therapeutic method, the short interfering ribonucleic acids reduce DUX4 protein translation and mediate a therapeutic response in human facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophies, FSHD 1 and FSHD2.
