Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein are compounds, compositions and methods for modulating splicing of SMN2 mRNA in a subject. Also provided are uses of disclosed compounds and compositions in the manufacture of a medicament for treatment of diseases and disorders, including spinal muscular atrophy.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising administering by a bolus injection into the intrathecal space of a subject with infantile-onset type I spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) an antisense compound comprising an antisense oligonucleotide consisting of 18 linked nucleosides, wherein the oligonucleotide has a nucleobase sequence consisting of the nucleobase sequence SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein each internucleoside linkage of the oligonucleotide is a phosphorothioate linkage, wherein each nucleoside of the oligonucleotide is a 2′-MOE nucleoside, and wherein the administering of the antisense compound ameliorates at least one symptom of SMA in the subject. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antisense compound is administered at a dose from 0.5 to 10 milligrams of antisense compound per kilogram of body weight of the subject. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein inclusion of exon 7 of SMN2 mRNA in a motoneuron in the subject is increased. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a 5 mg to 20 mg dose of antisense is administered.
