A pharmaceutical composition comprising: (i) an antisense oligonucleotide of 34 bases comprising the base sequence GCC GCU GCC CAA UGC CAU CCU GGA GUU CCU GUA A (SEQ ID NO: 243), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a morpholino antisense oligonucleotide, wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is uniformly modified to comprise a 5-substituted pyrimidine base, and wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is chemically linked to a polyethylene glycol chain, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and (ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

75. A pharmaceutical composition comprising: (i) an antisense oligonucleotide of 25 bases comprising the base sequence GCC CAA UGC CAU CCU GGA GUU CCU G (SEQ ID NO: 244), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a morpholino antisense oligonucleotide, wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is uniformly modified to comprise a 5-substituted pyrimidine base, and wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is chemically linked to a polyethylene glycol chain, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and (ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

76. A pharmaceutical composition comprising: (i) an antisense oligonucleotide of 31 bases comprising the base sequence GCC GCU GCC CAA UGC CAU CCU GGA GUU CCU G (SEQ ID NO: 245), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a morpholino antisense oligonucleotide, wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is uniformly modified to comprise a 5-substituted pyrimidine base, and wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is chemically linked to a polyethylene glycol chain, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and (ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

77. The antisense oligonucleotide of claim 1 , wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is chemically linked to one or more moieties or conjugates that enhance the activity, cellular distribution, or cellular uptake of the antisense oligonucleotide.

78. The antisense oligonucleotide of claim 1 , wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is chemically linked to a polyethylene glycol chain.
