Disclosed herein are polynucleic acid molecules, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods for treating muscle atrophy or myotonic dystrophy.

Compositions and methods for editing, e.g., introducing double-stranded breaks, within the TTR gene are provided. Compositions and methods for treating subjects having amyloidosis associated with transthyretin (ATTR), are provided.

Oligonucleotides are provided herein that inhibit MARC1 expression. Also provided are compositions including the same and uses thereof, particularly uses relating to treating diseases, disorders and/or conditions associated with MARC1 expression.

Disclosed herein are polynucleic acid molecules, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods for treating muscle atrophy or myotonic dystrophy.

This invention provides compounds, compositions and methods for modulating the expression of human GST-π using RNA interference. The RNA interference molecules can be used in methods for preventing or treating diseases such as malignant tumor. Provided are a range of siRNA structures, having one or more of nucleotides being modified or chemically-modified. Advantageous structures include siRNAs with 2′-deoxy nucleotides located in the seed region, as well as other nucleotide modifications.

Described are compositions and methods for inhibition of Hepatitis B virus gene expression. RNA interference (RNAi) agents for inhibiting the expression of Hepatitis B virus gene are described. The HBV RNAi agents disclosed herein may be targeted to cells, such as hepatocytes, for example, by using conjugated targeting ligands. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more HBV RNAi agents optionally with one or more additional therapeutics are also described. Delivery of the described HBV RNAi agents to infected liver in vivo provides for inhibition of HBV gene expression and treatment of diseases and conditions associated with HBV infection.

The present technology relates, in part, to long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) (e.g., 30 or more base pairs) that inhibits gene expression.

Recent advancements in LNA oligonucleotides include the use of amine linkers to link an LNA antisense oligonucleotide to a conjugate group. For example please see WO2014/I18267. The present invention originates from the identification of a problem when de-protecting LNA oligonucleotides which comprise an aliphatic amine group and DMF protected LNA G nucleoside, which results in the production of a +28 Da impurity. This problem is solved by using acyl protection groups on the exocyclic nitrogen of the LNA-G residue, rather than the standard DMF protection group.

New cationic lipids are provided that are useful for delivering macromolecules, such as nucleic acids, into eukaryotic cells. The lipids can be used alone, in combination with other lipids and/or in combination with other transfection enhancing reagents to prepare transfection complexes.

Provided herein are oligomeric compounds with conjugate groups. In certain embodiments, the oligomeric compounds are conjugated to N-Acetylgalactosamine.
