Abstract: The disclosure pertains to methods and compositions for treating disorders affecting the central nervous system (CNS). These disorders include neurometabolic disorders such as lysosomal storage diseases that affect the central nervous system, e.g., Niemann-Pick A disease. They also include disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. The disclosed methods involve contacting an axonal ending of a neuron with a composition containing high titer AAV carrying a therapeutic transgene so that the AAV vector is axonally transported in a retrograde fashion and transgene product is expressed distally to the administration site.

Abstract: This disclosure pertains to methods and compositions for tolerizing a mammal's brain to exogenously administered acid sphingomyelinase polypeptide by first delivering an effective amount of a transgene encoding the polypeptide to the mammal's hepatic tissue and then administering an effective amount of the transgene to the mammal's central nervous system (CNS).

Abstract: Antisense oligomer conjugates complementary to a selected target site in the human dystrophin gene to induce exon 45 skipping are described.

Abstract: Antisense oligomer conjugates complementary to a selected target site in the human dystrophin gene to induce exon 52 skipping are described.

Abstract: Neurological diseases, including lysosomal storage diseases, can be successfully treated using intraventricular delivery of the therapeutic agents to bypass the blood-brain barrier. Similarly, diagnostic agents and anesthetic agents can be delivered to the brain in this manner. The administration can be performed slowly to achieve maximum effect. Such administration permits greater penetration of distal portions of the brain.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating disorders affecting motor function, such as motor function affected by disease or injury to the brain and/or spinal cord, are disclosed.

Abstract: Lysosomal storage diseases can be successfully treated using intraventricular delivery of the enzyme which is etiologically deficient in the disease. The administration can be performed slowly to achieve maximum effect. Surprisingly, effects are seen on both sides of the blood-brain barrier, making this an ideal delivery means for lysosomal storage diseases which affect both brain and visceral organs.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to modified antisense oligomers and related compositions and methods for increasing the expression of functional SMN protein and methods for treating spinal muscular atrophy and relates to inducing inclusion of exon 7 in SMN2 mRNA.

Abstract: Antisense oligomer conjugates complementary to a selected target site in the human dystrophin gene to induce exon 53 skipping are described.

Abstract: The present provides methods for treating spinal muscular atrophy using a self-complementary recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) viral particle comprising a transgene expressing SMN. In one aspect, the viral particles are administered the spinal column or cisterna magna in a human subject; for example, a pediatric human subject. Viral particles comprising AAV9 capsids are contemplated.
