AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

There is a need for improved therapeutics to treat psychiatric and neurological diseases, as existing treatments are inadequate.

Method used

A composition comprising an oligonucleotide, such as siRNA, is used to modulate the expression of fibrinogen gamma chain (FGG) by targeting it with a sense and antisense strand, potentially reducing FGG mRNA and protein levels in cells, tissues, and fluids to treat psychiatric and neurological disorders.

Benefits of technology

The oligonucleotide effectively decreases FGG levels, leading to significant improvements in psychiatric and neurological disease phenotypes, including reduced markers of neurodegeneration and fibrinogen levels, while minimizing effects on coagulation parameters.
