Abstract: Provided are oligomeric compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for increasing the amount or activity of UNC13A RNA in a cell or animal, and/or decreasing the amount of UNC13A RNA that includes a cryptic exon in a cell or animal, and in certain instances increasing the amount of UNC13A protein in a cell or animal. Such oligomeric compounds and pharmaceutical compositions are useful to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia.

Abstract: 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.
