Abstract
Various aspects of the present invention are directed to compounds targeted to various regions of the survival motor neuron 2 (SMN2) gene. Such compounds may be used to increase incorporation of exon 7 in processed transcripts of SMN2. Such compounds may therefore be useful in increasing the amount of full-length SMN protein produced by the SMN2 gene. As such, these compounds may provide a therapeutic approach for treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
