主权项

1. A compound comprising a single-stranded modified oligonucleotide consisting of 16 linked nucleosides having a nucleobase sequence consisting of the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 245, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the modified oligonucleotide comprises:
a gap segment consisting of ten linked deoxynucleosides; a 5′ wing segment consisting of 3 linked nucleosides; and a 3′ wing segment consisting of 3 linked nucleosides; wherein the gap segment is positioned between the 5′ wing segment and the 3′ wing segment; wherein each nucleoside of each wing segment comprises a constrained ethyl nucleoside; wherein each internucleoside linkage of the modified oligonucleotide is a phosphorothioate linkage; and wherein each cytosine of the modified oligonucleotide is a 5 ′-methylcytosine.
