Abstract: Among other things, the present disclosure provides designed DMD oligonucleotides, compositions, and methods of use GC thereof. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides technologies useful for repairing mutant DMD transcripts by skipping exon 51 or exon 53, so that the transcript can be translated into an internally truncated but at least partially functional Dystrophin protein variant. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides technologies useful for modulating DMD transcript splicing. In some embodiments, provided technologies can alter splicing of a dystrophin (DMD) DMD transcript. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for treating diseases, such as muscular dystrophy, including but not limited to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Becker's muscular dystrophy, etc.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to the recognition that immune responses mediated by CpG oligonucleotides can be affected by the stereochemistry of modified internucleotidic linkages such as phosphorothioates. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to chirally controlled CpG oligonucleotide compositions comprising CpG oligonucleotides comprising multiple modified internucleotidic linkages such as phosphorothioate linkages, wherein the oligonucleotides comprise one or more CpG region motifs having defined stereochemistry patterns of chiral internucleotidic linkages. In some embodiments, CpG oligonucleotides comprising one or more CpG region motifs are capable of agonizing an immune response. In some embodiments, CpG oligonucleotides comprising one or more CpG region motifs are antagonistic. Methods for making and using chirally controlled CpG oligonucleotide compositions are also described. In some embodiments, no immune modulation is desired, and the present disclosure provides methods of identifying chirally controlled oligonucleotide compositions which have decreased immune modulation.
