Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that are capable of modulating expression of Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) in a target cell. The oligonucleotides can hybridize to APOE ε4 mRNA. The present invention further relates to conjugates of the oligonucleotide and pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treatment of, for example, Alzheimer's disease (AD), fronto-temporal dementia (FTD), Pick's disease (PiD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy Bodies, dementia in Down's Syndrome, and Niemann-Pick Type C1 Disease.
