- the present disclosure provides for the use of a phasing assay in the detection of the presence of a mutant allele in a patient with the targeted single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs362273 (SNP3) versus the wild type allele to determine suitability of treatment with WVE-003.
- SNP single nucleotide polymorphism
- SNP3 targeted single nucleotide polymorphism rs362273
- an HTT oligonucleotide that targets that SNP allele can also “target” the disease-associated CAG repeat expansion, thereby allowing a decrease in the expression, level and/or activity of the HTT allele with the disease-associated mutation.
- an HTT oligonucleotide can be used in a treatment for an HTT-related disorder such as Huntington’s disease.
- An HTT oligonucleotide targeting a SNP can thus preferentially decrease the expression, level and/or activity of a mutant allele of HTT compared to the wild-type allele.
- Phasing data can be important in allele-specific therapies for diseases such as Huntington’s disease.
- a genetic lesion such as a deleterious repeat, deletion, insertion, inversion or other mutation has been identified, such as an expanded CAG repeat expansion in mutant (and disease-associated) HTT alleles.
- one allele of a gene such as HTT can comprise a disease-associated mutation at a genetic locus, while the other allele is normal, wild-type or otherwise not or less disease-associated.
- an allele-specific therapy can target an allele of HTT comprising a disease-associated mutation, but not the corresponding wild-type allele.
- an allele-specific therapy can target an HTT allele comprising a disease-associated mutation at a particular locus, such as a CAG repeat expansion (or expanded CAG tract), but not by directly targeting the locus, but rather by targeting a different locus on the mutant allele.
- an allele-specific therapy can target an allele comprising a disease- 18 of 265 12842751v1 Attorney Docket No.: 2010581-1510 associated mutation at a locus by targeting a different locus in the same allele, such as a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the same gene.
- a SNP single nucleotide polymorphism
- some disease-associated genetic lesions may be difficult to target or otherwise not readily amenable to targeting.
- mutant HTT comprise repeats (e.g., trinucleotide or tetranucleotide repeats); in some cases, such as Huntington’s disease, a small number of repeats is not disease-associated, but an abnormally large number of repeats, or a repeat expansion, is disease-associated. Because the repeats exist on both the wild-type and mutant alleles, it may be difficult to target the disease-associated repeats directly. However, if a particular SNP variant exists on the same allele as the disease-associated repeat expansion but not on the wild-type allele, that SNP variant can be used to target an allele-specific therapy which targets the mutant allele but not the wild-type allele.
- repeats e.g., trinucleotide or tetranucleotide repeats
- phasing data for an individual indicates if a particular SNP is in phase (e.g., on the same chromosome or transcript) as the lesion and thus that SNP can be targeted with a therapeutic nucleic acid.
- the therapeutic can then target the mutant gene, while not targeting the wild-type allele.
- Obtaining the phasing data to target only the mutant allele can be especially useful if expression of the wild- type allele is essential.
- phasing information is useful if it is known that an individual has both a wild-type and a mutant allele of each of two genetic loci on the same gene.
- the present disclosure presents, inter alia, various methods for phasing genetic loci on a nucleic acid template.
- the present disclosure presents methods for phasing a genetic locus such as a genetic lesion (such as an inversion, fusion, deletion, insertion or other mutation) and another genetic locus (such as a SNP) on a chromosome; the two genetic loci can be in the same gene, or in different genes.
- an example patient may have Huntington's Disease, which is linked to a mutation in the Huntingtin gene (HTT) comprising an excessive number of repeats (e.g., a repeat expansion) of the sequence CAG.
- the patient may be under consideration for treatment with an allele-specific therapeutic (e.g., an antisense oligonucleotide or RNAi agent) which recognizes a particular allelic variant of a genetic locus in the HTT gene (which is outside the repeat expansion), as a non-limiting example, a SNP.
- an allele-specific therapeutic e.g., an antisense oligonucleotide or RNAi agent
- phasing reveals that the same chromosome of the patient comprises both the repeat expansion and the particular allelic variant of a genetic locus (e.g., a SNP) recognized by the allele-specific therapeutic, then the patient is eligible for treatment with the allele-specific therapeutic.
- a genetic locus e.g., a SNP
- Various methods for phasing are known in the art, including but not limited to those described in: WO2018/022473; and Berger et al. 2015 Res. Comp. Mol. Biol.9029: 28-29; Castel et al.2015 Genome Biol. 16: 195; Castel et al.
- sequencing particularly sequencing that can produce long single reads, can be utilized for phasing.
- Allele-specific PCR is a technique in which the variant of the nucleic acid sequence present in the PCR reaction mixture is selectively amplified and detected. Allele-specific PCR employs at least one "allele- specific primer.”
- allele-specific primer generally refers to a primer whose extension occurs in a PCR reaction only when a specific variant of a nucleic acid sequence is present in the reaction mixture.
- allele-specific primers are designed in such a way that they discriminate between variants of nucleic acids and selectively multiply nucleic acid templates that include a variant to be detected.

- Amplifications may be monitored in "real time.” Though standard Sanger dideoxy or other older nucleotide sequencing methods can be used, sequencing can be particularly effective when high throughput sequencing is used, e.g., "next generation sequencing” methods such as HiSeq TM , MiSeq TM , or Genome Analyzer (each available from Illumina), SOLiD TM or Ion Torrent TM (each available from Life Technologies) and 454 TM sequencing (from Roche Diagnostics).

- Huntington’s disease (HD) is reportedly a neurodegenerative disorder reportedly caused by a mutation of the HTT (huntingtin) gene. Alteration of this widely expressed single gene reportedly results in a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder with a large number of characteristic symptoms.
- Huntington’s disease is reportedly a rare, progressive neurological disease that results in motor, cognitive, and psychiatric disability and is invariably fatal. Bates G, Tabrizi S, Jones L, (editors). Huntington's Disease, 4th Edition. Oxford (UK): Oxford University Press; 2014. Because it is a genetic, hereditary disease, it can reportedly affect multiple family members across generations. Sturrock A et al. J Geriatr Psychiatry Neurol. 2010;23(4): 243-259. Although cognitive and psychiatric symptoms may reportedly develop first, the clinical diagnosis of HD is usually based on the presence of chorea, one of the most visually prominent symptoms of this disease.
- Chorea is reportedly an abnormal involuntary movement disorder, which occurs in 90% of subjects and is moderate to severe in approximately 70% of these subjects. These physical symptoms can reportedly appear at any age, but typically appear between the ages of 30 and 50.
- HD Some of the symptoms of HD can reportedly be managed with medication and therapies such as antipsychotics and drugs affecting the dopamine pathways, which modulate the movement disorder.
- Huntington’s disease is reportedly caused by a known mutation on a single gene, an expansion of a cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) triplet repeat in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene.
- CAG cytosine-adenine-guanine
- HTT Huntingtin
- a HD-related mutation is an expansion of a CAG repeat region in the HTT gene, wherein a larger expansion reportedly results in greater severity of the disease and an earlier age of onset.
- the mutation reportedly results in a variety of motor, emotional and cognitive symptoms, and results in the formation of huntingtin aggregates in brain.
- the CAG expansion reportedly results in the expansion of a poly-glutamine (poly-Q) tract in the huntingtin protein, a 350 kDa protein (Huntington Disease Collaborative Research Group, 1993. Cell. 72:971- 83).
- a CAG repeat expansion is reportedly associated with Huntington’s disease.
- Huntington’s disease has been reported to be an autosomal dominant disorder, with an onset generally in mid-life, although cases of onset from childhood to over 70 years of age have been documented. An earlier age of onset is reportedly associated with paternal inheritance, with 70% of juvenile cases being inherited through the father.
- symptoms of Huntington’s disease have an emotional, motor and/or cognitive component.
- One symptom, chorea is a characteristic feature of the motor disorder and is defined as excessive spontaneous movements which are irregularly timed, randomly distributed and abrupt. It can vary from being barely perceptible to severe. Other frequently observed abnormalities include dystonia, rigidity, bradykinesia, ocularmotor dysfunction, tremor, etc.
- Voluntary movement disorders as symptoms include fine motor incoordination, dysarthria, and dysphagia. Emotional disorders commonly include depression and irritability, and cognitive component comprises subcortical dementia (Mangiarini et al.1996. Cell 87:493-506). It is reported that changes in HD brains are widespread and include neuronal loss and gliosis, particularly in the cortex and striatum (Vonsattel and DiFiglia.1998. J. Neuropathol. Exp. Neurol.57:369-384). [0261] In some embodiments, Huntington’s disease phenotypes range from mild HTT to severe, depending on the length of the CAG repeat expansion.
- Huntington’s disease can be a devastating neurological disorder caused by a toxic gain of function and concurrent loss of function. Huntington’s disease is reported to be a monogenic autosomal dominant genetic disease that can be fully penetrant and affects entire brain.
