Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to an antisense oligonucleotide for use in treating and/or preventing a polyglutamine (polyQ) disease, wherein said antisense oligonucleotide is capable of specifically binding to a CAG repeat region of an mRNA encoding a polyQ disease-related protein such that a double stranded RNA is formed which is capable of attracting an Adenosine Deaminase Acting on RNA (ADAR) inserting an A to I exchange into at least one CAG trinucleotide of the CAG repeat region of said mRNA. The present invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising said antisense molecule.
