The present disclosure relates to compounds and methods for modulating the expression of dmpk, atxn1, atxn2, atxn3, cacna1a, atxn7, ppp2r2br tbp, htt, jph3r ar, or atn1 and treating diseases and conditions in which dmpk, atxn1, atxn2, atxn3, cacna1a, atxn1, ppp2r2b, tbp, htt, jph3, ar, or atn1 plays an active role. The compound can be a transcription modulator molecule having a first terminus, a second terminus, and oligomeric backbone, wherein: a) the first terminus comprises a DNA-binding moiety capable of noncovalently binding to a nucleotide repeat sequence CAG or CTG; b) the second terminus comprises a protein-binding moiety binding to a regulatory molecule that modulates an expression of a gene comprising the nucleotide repeat sequence CAG or CTG; and c) the oligomeric backbone comprising a linker between the first terminus and the second terminus. |
