  • Publication number: 20230374519
    Abstract: Provided are compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions for reducing the amount or activity of PMP22 RNA in a cell or animal, and in certain instances reducing the amount of PMP22 protein in a cell or animal. Such compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions are useful to ameliorate at least one symptom or hallmark of a neurodegenerative disease. Such symptoms and hallmarks include demyelination, progressive axonal damage and/or loss, weakness and wasting of foot and lower leg muscles, foot deformities, and weakness and atrophy in the hands. Such neurodegenerative diseases include Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
