  • Publication number: 20240318179
    Abstract: Provided herein are antisense oligomers comprising a chemically modified antisense oligomer having a targeting sequence that is complementary to a target region of the human peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) pre-mRNA. The antisense oligomer can be a peptide nucleic acid, a locked nucleic acid, phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer, a 2?-O-Me phosphorothioate oligomer, or a combination thereof. In an embodiment, the antisense oligomer is covalently linked to a cell-penetrating peptide. The antisense oligomers are useful for the treatment for various diseases in a subject in need thereof, including, but not limited to, a disease associated with dysregulation of peripheral myelin protein 22.

  • Patent number: 11898143
    Abstract: Antisense agents and RNA interference agents useful for treating diseases and conditions the treatment of which can benefit from reducing the expression of double homeobox 4 and/or double homeobox 4c, more particularly facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy. Methods, uses and further products employing such agents are also described.
