Publication number: 20240102012Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Paymaan Jafar-Nejad, Huynh-Hoa Bui, Susan M. Freier, Frank Rigo
