Ion Channel Mutations: The Complexities of Treatment

  • Summary

  • Mutations affecting ion channels are the most common cause of 'applications for treatment' submitted to n-Lorem. These channels regulate the passage of essential electrically charged ions, like sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride, into cells. Alas, ion channels pose a significant challenge in the ASO discovery process, as there is little room for error due to the need for highly allele-selective ASOs to achieve success. Let’s 'dive into the channel' and explore the complexities of treating patients with ion channel mutations.

    Recently a report on one of our patients with an ion channel mutation was published in Endpoints News highlighting the power of our technology for these disorders. Check it out by clicking the link below.
