Progress in RNA‐Targeted Therapeutics for Human Diseases

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
RNA‐targeted therapies are revolutionizing molecular medicine by transitioning from a “protein‐centric” focus to an “RNA‐regulatory network” approach. Leveraging RNA's diverse roles in gene regulation, signaling, and epigenetic modifications, advanced platforms such as ASOs, siRNA, miRNA, mRNA, aptamers, shRNA, and CRISPR/Cas systems are enabling ...

Mutation in human CLPX elevates levels of δ-aminolevulinate synthase and protoporphyrin IX to promote erythropoietic protoporphyria [PDF]

, 2017
Loss-of-function mutations in genes for heme biosynthetic enzymes can give rise to congenital porphyrias, eight forms of which have been described. The genetic penetrance of the porphyrias is clinically variable, underscoring the role of additional ...

Liver Transplantation and Other Hepatically Directed Therapies Do Not Change the Biochemical Phenotype nor Halt Progression of Leukodystrophy due to Biallelic HMBS Variants: A Case Report

JIMD Reports, Volume 67, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Leukodystrophy due to biallelic HMBS variants is a rare condition distinct from acute intermittent porphyria (AIP). It is characterised by progressive leukoencephalopathy rather than acute attacks of neurovisceral symptoms. We report the ongoing clinical progression of a patient with leukodystrophy due to homozygous variants in HMBS [c.251C>A,
