Abstract
Introduction: Ribonucleic acid (RNA) therapeutics are a new class of drugs whose importance is highlighted by the growing number of molecules in the clinic.
Sources of data: We focus on RNA therapeutics for neurogenetic disorders, which are broadly defined as diseases with a genetic background and with at least one clinical sign affecting the nervous system. A systematic search identified 14 RNA drugs approved by FDA and many others in development.
Areas of agreement: The field of RNA therapeutics is changing the therapeutic scenario across many disorders.
Areas of controversy: Despite its recent successes, RNA therapeutics encountered several hurdles and some clinical failures. Delivery to the brain represents the biggest challenge.
Growing points: The many advantages of RNA drugs make the development of these technologies a worthwhile investment.
Areas timely for developing research: Clinical failures stress the importance of implementing clinical trial design and optimizing RNA molecules to hold the promise of revolutionizing the treatment of human diseases.
期刊介绍:
British Medical Bulletin is a multidisciplinary publication, which comprises high quality reviews aimed at generalist physicians, junior doctors, and medical students in both developed and developing countries.
Its key aims are to provide interpretations of growing points in medicine by trusted experts in the field, and to assist practitioners in incorporating not just evidence but new conceptual ways of thinking into their practice.
