ADAR1a may be a target to curb HDV production; hypothesis-generating in animal models, human validation required.
Does short inhibitory RNA-mediated knockdown of ADAR1 decrease HDV RNA editing and virus production compared to ADAR2 knockdown?
ADAR1, specifically ADAR1a, is primarily responsible for editing HDV RNA at the amber/W site during infection across multiple genotypes.
