A patient with a genetic disorder produces a non-functional protein. A potential future treatment using RNA interference (RNAi) would aim to:

  • add a correct copy of the gene
  • use a small RNA molecule to block the translation of the mRNA from the defective gene
  • provide infusions of the functional protein
  • create a vaccine against the non-functional protein
