Disclosed herein are compositions and compounds comprising modified oligonucleotides for modulating TMPRSS6 and modulating an iron accumulation disease, disorder and/or condition in an individual in need thereof. Iron accumulation diseases in an individual such as polycythemia, hemochromatosis or β-thalassemia can be treated, ameliorated, delayed or prevented with the administration of antisense compounds targeted to TMPRSS6.

Provided herein are methods for the treatment of Alport Syndrome, using modified oligonucleotides targeted to miR-21. In certain embodiments, a modified oligonucleotide targeted to miR-21 improves kidney function and/or reduces fibrosis in subjects having Alport Syndrome. In certain embodiments, administration of a modified oligonucleotide targeted to miR-21 delays the onset of end-stage renal disease in a subject having Alport Syndrome. In certain embodiments, a modified oligonucleotide targeted to miR-21 delays the need for dialysis or kidney transplant in a subject having Alport Syndrome.

The invention relates to iRNA, e.g., double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA), compositions targeting the complement component C5 gene, and methods of using such iRNA, e.g., dsRNA, compositions to inhibit expression of C5 and to treat subjects having a complement component C5-associated disease, e.g., paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

Provided herein are methods, compounds, and compositions for modulation of dystrophin pre-mRNA in an animal. Such methods, compounds, and compositions are useful, for example, to treat, prevent, or ameliorate one or more symptoms of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy disease.
