Abstract: Among other things, the present disclosure provides designed DMD oligonucleotides, compositions, and methods of use GC thereof. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides technologies useful for repairing mutant DMD transcripts by skipping exon 51 or exon 53, so that the transcript can be translated into an internally truncated but at least partially functional Dystrophin protein variant. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides technologies useful for modulating DMD transcript splicing. In some embodiments, provided technologies can alter splicing of a dystrophin (DMD) DMD transcript. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for treating diseases, such as muscular dystrophy, including but not limited to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Becker's muscular dystrophy, etc.

Abstract: Among other things, the present disclosure provides oligonucleotides, compositions, and methods thereof. Among other things, the present disclosure encompasses the recognition that structural elements of oligonucleotides, such as base sequence, chemical modifications (e.g., modifications of sugar, base, and/or internucleotidic linkages) or patterns thereof, conjugation with additional chemical moieties, and/or stereochemistry [e.g., stereochemistry of backbone chiral centers (chiral internucleotidic linkages)], and/or patterns thereof, can have significant impact on oligonucleotide properties and activities, e.g., knockdown ability, stability, delivery, etc. In some embodiments, the oligonucleotides decrease the expression, activity and/or level of a C9orf72 gene, including but not limited to, one comprising a repeat expansion, or a gene product thereof.
