Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods and compositions for modulation of the activity of alpha thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked (ATRX), e.g., modulation of DNA-ATRX or RNA-ATRX interactions, and methods for identifying and using compounds that modulate DNA-ATRX or RNA-ATRX interactions, as well as the compounds themselves.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of treating a subject who has Rett Syndrome, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a nucleic acid oligonucleotide that targets a sequence within SEQ ID NOs. 7957, 7959, 7961, or 7962. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the nucleic acid oligonucleotide comprises one or more of DNA, RNA, PNA, HNA, MNA, ANA, LNA, CAN, INA, CeNA, TNA, (2′-NH)-TNA, (3′-NH)-TNA, alpha-L-Ribo-LNA, alpha-L-Xylo-LNA, beta-D-Ribo-LNA, beta-D-Xylo-LNA, [3.2.1]-LNA, Bicyclo-DNA, 6-Amino-Bicyclo-DNA, 5-epi-Bicyclo-DNA, alpha-Bicyclo-DNA, Tricyclo-DNA, Bicyclo[4.3.0]-DNA, Bicyclo[3.2.1]-DNA, Bicyclo[4.3.0]amide-DNA, beta-D-Ribopyranosyl-NA, alpha-L-Lyxopyranosyl-NA, 2′-R-RNA, 2′-OR-RNA, 2′-AE-RNA, alpha-L-RNA, and beta-D-RNA.
