Compounds and methods for reducing LRRK2 expression

Provided are compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions for reducing the amount or activity of SNCA mRNA in a cell or animal, and in certain instances reducing the amount of alpha-synuclein protein in a cell or animal. Such compounds, methods, and pharmaceutical compositions are useful to ameliorate at least one symptom or hallmark of a neurodegenerative disease. Such symptoms and hallmarks include motor dysfunction, aggregation of alpha-synuclein, neurodegeneration, cognitive decline and dementia. Such neurodegenerative diseases include Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, diffuse Lewy body disease, pure autonomic failure, multiple system atrophy, neuronopathic Gaucher's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
