    摘要: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for reducing expression of C9ORF72 mRNA and protein in an animal with C9ORF72 specific inhibitors. Also disclosed herein are compositions and methods of selectively inhibiting a C9ORF72 pathogenic associated mRNA variant by administering an antisense compound targeting the region beginning at the start site of exon 1A to the start site of exon 1B of a C9ORF72 pre-mRNA. Such methods are useful to treat, prevent, or ameliorate neurodegenerative diseases in an individual in need thereof. Such C9ORF72 specific inhibitors include antisense compounds.

    摘要: Provided are compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions for modulating SMN2 RNA and/or protein in a cell or subject. Such compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions are useful to ameliorate at least one symptom of a neurodegenerative disorder. Such symptoms include reduced muscle strength; inability or reduced ability to sit upright, to stand, and/or walk; reduced neuromuscular activity; reduced electrical activity in one or more muscles; reduced respiration; inability or reduced ability to eat, drink, and/or breathe without assistance; loss of weight or reduced weight gain; and/or decreased survival.

    摘要: Provided are compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions for reducing the amount or activity of GFAP RNA in a cell or subject, and in certain instances reducing the amount of GFAP in a cell or subject. Such compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions are useful to ameliorate at least one symptom or hallmark of a leukodystrophy. Such symptoms and hallmarks include motor delays, cognitive delays, paroxysmal deterioration, seizures, vomiting, swallowing difficulties, ataxic gait, palatal myoclonus, autonomic dysfunction, and presence of intra-astrocytic inclusions called Rosenthal fibers. Such leukodystrophies include Alexander Disease.
