Abstract

The present invention relates to RNA interference-based methods for inhibiting the expression of the myotilin gene. Recombinant adeno-associated viruses of the invention deliver DNAs encoding microRNAs that knock down the expression of myotilin. The methods have application in the treatment of muscular dystrophies such as Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 1A.
