  • Publication number: 20240102012
    Abstract: Provided are compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions for reducing the amount or activity of SCN2A RNA in a cell or subject, and in certain instances reducing the amount of SCN2A protein in a cell or subject. Such compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions are useful to ameliorate at least one symptom or hallmark of a disease or disorder associated with a voltage-gated sodium channel protein, such as, for example, a Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy, an intellectual disability, or an autism spectrum disorder. Such symptoms and hallmarks include, but are not limited to seizures, hypotonia, sensory integration disorders, motor development delays and dysfunctions, intellectual and cognitive dysfunctions, movement and balance dysfunctions, visual dysfunctions, delayed language and speech, gastrointestinal disorders, neurodevelopmental delays, sleep problems, and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy.

  • Publication number: 20230124616
    Abstract: Provided are compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions for reducing the amount or activity of KCNQ2 RNA in a cell or subject, and in certain instances reducing the amount of Kv7.2 protein in a cell or subject. Such compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions are useful to ameliorate at least one symptom or hallmark of an epileptic encephalopathy. Such symptoms and hallmarks include infantile spasms or seizures, EEC abnormalities, brain MRI abnormalities in the infant, and an associated developmental impairment. Such epileptic encephalopathies include those associated with gain-of-function and dominant negative mutations in KCNQ2.

  • Publication number: 20230043648
    Abstract: Provided are compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions for modulating SCN1A 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 developmental or epileptic encephalopathic disease, such as Dravet Syndrome. Such symptoms include seizures, sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, status epilepticus, behavioral and developmental delays, movement and balance dysfunctions, orthopedic conditions, motor and cognitive dysfunctions, delayed language and speech issues, visual motor integration dysfunctions, visual perception dysfunctions, executive dysfunctions, growth and nutrition issues, sleeping difficulties, chronic infections, sensory integration disorders, and dysautonomia.

  • Publication number: 20220411793
    Abstract: Provided are compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions for reducing the amount or activity of UBE3A-ATS, the endogenous antisense transcript of ubiquitin protein ligase E3A (UBE3A) in a cell or subject, and in certain instances increasing the expression of paternal UBE3A and the amount of UBE3A protein in a cell or subject. Such compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions are useful to ameliorate at least one symptom or hallmark of a neurogenetic disorder. Such symptoms and hallmarks include developmental delays, ataxia, speech impairment, sleep problems, seizures, and EEG abnormalities. Such neurogenetic disorders include Angelman Syndrome.
