1. An antisense compound for treating myotonic dystrophy DM1, consisting of a 9-base phosphorodiamidate morpholino antisense oligonucleotide,wherein at least one and up to about 1 per every 2 intersubunit linkage(s) contains a pendant cationic group, andwherein the 9 bases are complementary to polyCUG repeats in the 3′
- UTR region of dystrophia myotonica protein kinase (DMPK) mRNA and have the base sequence of SEQ ID NO;
5 or SEQ ID NO;
