  • Publication number: 20220195428
    Abstract: Disclosed are oligonucleotides, compositions, and methods that may be useful in the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The treatment of age-regulated macular degeneration (AMD) may involve inhibiting an miR-33 target nucleic acid. For example, inhibition of an miR-33 target nucleic acid may be achieved using antisense oligonucleotides targeting an miR-33 target nucleic acid, interfering oligonucleotides targeting an miR-33 target nucleic acid, or recombinant AAV particles including a vector encoding an antisense oligonucleotide or interfering oligonucleotide targeting an miR-33 target nucleic acid.
