  • Publication number: 20250059535
    Abstract: Agents that target a processed mRNA, e.g., the 5? UTR of the processed mRNA, can modulate protein expression, e.g., via modulation of translation of the processed mRNA. Alternative splicing events in genes can lead to non-productive mRNA transcripts which in turn can lead to aberrant protein expression. Agents that target the alternative splicing events in genes can modulate the expression level of proteins. Therapeutic agents, which can modulate protein expression by targeting a processed mRNA and/or alternative splicing events, can promote functional protein expression in patients and/or inhibit aberrant protein expression. Such therapeutic agents can be used to treat a condition or disease associated with protein deficiency and/or mitochondrial function deficit.
