1 - 70 . (canceled)
71 . A method of modulating the GF/IGF-1 axis, comprising administering at least one GF/IGF-1 axis modulator, wherein the GF/IGF-1 axis modulator is a GF/IGF-1 axis molecule selected from among: IGF-1 and insulin-like growth factor binding acid labile subunit (IGFALS), to a human subject having spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
72 . The method of claim 71 , wherein at least one GF/IGF-1 axis modulator is IGF-binding-protein acid labile subunit (IGFALS).
73 . The method of claim 71 , wherein at least one GF/IGF-1 axis modulator is IGF-1.
74 . The method of claim 71 , wherein the at least one GF/IGF-1 axis modulator is administered systemically.
75 . The method of claim 71 , wherein at least one growth hormone axis modulator is administered by intraperitoneal injection.
76 . The method of claim 71 , wherein at least one growth hormone axis modulator is administered by subcutaneous injection.
77 . The method of claim 71 , wherein at least one growth hormone axis modulator is administered by intramuscular injection.
78 . The method of claim 71 , wherein at least one growth hormone axis modulator is administered into the cerebrospinal fluid.
79 . The method of claim 71 , comprising administering at least one antisense oligonucleotide to the subject having spinal muscular atrophy.
80 . The method of claim 79 , wherein the antisense compound comprises an antisense oligonucleotide complementary to a nucleic acid encoding human SMN2.
81 . The method of claim 80 , wherein the oligonucleotide is complementary to a portion of intron 7 of the nucleic acid encoding human SMN2.
82 . The method of claim 80 , wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is at least 90% complementary to the nucleic acid encoding human SMN2.
83 . The method of claim 80 , wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is fully complementary to the nucleic acid encoding human SMN2.
84 . The method of claim 80 , wherein the oligonucleotide has a nucleobase sequence comprising at least 10 contiguous nucleobases of the nucleobase sequence SEQ ID NO: 1.
85 . The method of claim 80 , wherein the oligonucleotide has a nucleobase sequence comprising at least 15 contiguous nucleobases of the nucleobase sequence SEQ ID NO: 1.
86 . The method of claim 80 , wherein the oligonucleotide has a nucleobase sequence comprising the nucleobase sequence SEQ ID NO: 1.
87 . The method of claim 80 , wherein the oligonucleotide has a nucleobase sequence consisting of the nucleobase sequence SEQ ID NO: 1.
88 . The method of claim 80 , wherein at least one nucleoside of the antisense oligonucleotide comprises a modified sugar moiety.
89 . The method of claim 88 , wherein the at least one modified sugar moiety comprises a 2′-methoxyethyl sugar moiety.
90 . The method of claim 88 , wherein essentially each nucleoside of the antisense oligonucleotide comprises a modified sugar
