Abstract

The present invention relates to the selective inhibition of protein expression of CAG repeat-related disease proteins such as Huntingtin Disease Protein and Ataxin-3 using double-stranded RNAs and nucleic acid analogs. Chemically-modified RNAs having at least one mismatch as compared to the target CAG repeat sequence are specifically contemplated.
