San Diego–based Design Therapeutics has launched with $45 million in series A financing to develop small-molecule drugs that alter gene expression. The start-up plans to treat nucleotide repeat disorders including Friedreich’s ataxia and myotonic dystrophy.

The firm has licensed Ansari’s technology from Wisconsin.
