Functional validation of allele-specific LMNB1 silencing in patient-derived astrocytes as a therapeutic option for Autosomal Dominant Leukodystrophy
Adult-onset Autosomal Dominant Leukodystrophy (ADLD) is a rare fatal leukodystrophy caused by increased LMNB1 gene dosage, most commonly resulting from duplication of the LMNB1 locus. Because ADLD is a gene dosage disorder, selective reduction of pathological LMNB1 expression represents a rational therapeutic strategy. Although allele-specific RNA interference has previously been shown to lower…
