COMPOUNDS AND METHODS FOR MODULATING EXPRESSION APOB
First Claim
1. A short antisense compound 8 to 16 monomers in length, comprising a 2′
- -deoxyribonucleotide gap region flanked on each side by a wing, wherein each wing independently comprises 1 to 3 high-affinity modified monomers and wherein the short antisense compound is targeted to a nucleotide encoding ApoB.

Abstract
The present disclosure describes short antisense compounds, including such compounds comprising chemically-modified high-affinity monomers 8-16 monomers in length. Certain such short antisense compound are useful for the reduction of target nucleic acids and/or proteins in cells, tissues, and animals with increased potency and improved therapeutic index. Thus, provided herein are short antisense compounds comprising high-affinity nucleotide modifications useful for reducing a target RNA in vivo. Such short antisense compounds are effective at lower doses than previously described antisense compounds, allowing for a reduction in toxicity and cost of treatment. In addition, the described short antisense compounds have greater potential for oral dosing.
