The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) that can mediate RNA editing by binding to a target RNA nucleic acid molecule, preferably an RNA transcript molecule, in a cell and recruiting an endogenous deaminating enzyme in the cell to deaminate a target adenosine in the target RNA molecule to an inosine. The target RNA molecule is a transcript molecule form the SLC10A1 gene that encodes the Na+ / Taurocholate Co-transporting Polypeptide (NTCP), and the target adenosine is the adenosine in the GAC codon coding for aspartic acid (D) at position 24 of the NTCP protein.
