Fundaci\u00f3n Noelia, for children suffering Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (CMD) caused by deficit in collagen VI,<\/strong> with NIH (NINDS) National Institute of Health from United Estates have signed a collaboration agreement to get further with the investigation about CMD caused by deficit in collagen VI.<\/p>\n

Letter\u00a0Hospital NIH (National Inst of Neurological Disorders and Stroke).<\/a><\/strong>
\nLetter agreement between the Noelia Foundation and Dr. Walter Koroshets.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Fundaci\u00f3n Noelia first objective was to financially support the investigation that Dr. Carsten B\u00f6nnemann team from NIH were doing under the project named “Development of Selective Mutation silencing as a Therapy for the Collagen VI Related Dystrophies”. This project has 2 years duration and a budget of 150.000$. It is a project that hopefully could be the way to the cure of this illness, is based on genetic modifications and it started thanks to the input of 75.000$ from Fundaci\u00f3n Noelia last November.<\/p>\n

Prestigious researchers on the theme have supervised this project, like: Annemieke Aartsma-Rus (Duchenne muscular Dystrophy exon skip group leader); Dione Kobayashi (scientific advisor for different biotechnological organizations, she has been involved in numerous drug development collaborations with biotech and pharmaceutical company partners); Edward Kaye (Chief executive of Sarepta therapeutics); Cecilia Jim\u00e9nez Mallebrera (Hospital Sant Joan de D\u00e9u de Barcelona investigation coordinator an expertise on collagen VI). All of them valued the viability and the possible application of the results of this project. This project has collaboration from some relevant companies that are working with different systems to help treat genetic neuromuscular disease (Alnylam, Integrated DNA Technologies, Synthena).<\/p>\n

The project is based on gene silencing; this technique could be the way to cure this kind of dystrophy it would need to be using some oligonucleotide synthesis to make sure the collagen VI was produce as normal; with this it could cancel the effects on dominant negative mutation cases and the protein could work correctly.<\/p>\n

This technique would help, as well, on autosomal dominant negative mutation cases that alter the collagen synthesis and cause the most severe phenotypes of this disease.
\nThe main objective of this project is to make sure the \u201cnormal\u201d copy of the collagen VI produced would be present in the fibrous tissues and doing his function in them.
\nThere are some previous studies that prove that with this technique the results are positive in fibroblast cell culture and the scientific basis of the project is robust.<\/p>\n

To be able to develop this as a therapy, first of all it\u2019s important to find the best oligonucleotide sequence and medication to try it on studies on mice. It would be tried only on the one muscle affected to start and after, if successful, using the whole mice as it would be used on patients.<\/p>\n
