1. A synthetic, modified oligonucleotide of 10 to 30 nucleotides in length comprising at least one modification wherein the at least one modification is selected from:
- at least one modified sugar moiety;
at least one modified internucleotide linkage;
at least one modified nucleotide, and combinations thereof;
wherein said oligonucleotide is an antisense compound which is at least 90% complementary to and specifically hybridizes to a natural antisense polynucleotide of a Delta-like 1 homolog (DLK1) gene having SEQ ID NO;
3 and upregulates the function and/or expression of the Delta-like 1 homolog (DLK1) gene in vivo or in vitro as compared to a normal control.

Abstract
The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that modulate the expression of and/or function of Delta-like (1) homolog (DLK1), in particular, by targeting natural antisense polynucleotides of Delta-like (1) homolog (DLK1). The invention also relates to the identification of these antisense oligonucleotides and their use in treating diseases and disorders associated with the expression of (DLK1).
