US FDA grants Fast Track status for Avidity’s AOC 1020 to treat FSHD

Pharmaceutical Technology

AOC 1020 has been designed for the treatment of the underlying cause of FSHD, which is caused by the abnormal expression of a gene known as double homeobox 4 or DUX4. Avidity Biosciences’ AOC 1020 is intended to reduce the DUX4 mRNA and DUX4 protein expression in muscles in these patients.

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

Further, the expression of any gene is dependent on the rate at which it is transcribed into mRNA and translated into proteins. There are various regulatory proteins or transcription factors that are responsible for affecting the transcription rate.
