U. Iowa researchers improve Huntington's disease symptoms in mice

reduction of both the toxic and the normal protein. If the normal protein is critical, then RNAi will need to be specifically targeted against the disease-causing gene.

Fortunately, RNAi is exactly the right tool to provide an answer regarding whether the normal gene is critical by silencing the normal gene in adult brain cells of HD models.

Despite the remaining hurdles, Davidson is optimistic about the potential of RNAi to treat HD and similar neurodegenerative diseases.

"If the benefit is confirmed in other mouse models of Huntington's disease, and it appears that we don't need to target the RNAi specifically to the disease-causing mutant gene, then I would think it might move to human testing within several years," she said.
