Claim:
1. An antisense oligonucleotide for use in modulating aberrant splicing of a human LMNA pre-mRNA, the oligonucleotide being composed of morpholino subunits and phosphorus-containing intersubunit linkages joining a morpholino nitrogen of one subunit to a 5′-exocyclic carbon of an adjacent subunit, containing 25-40 bases; and having a targeting sequence comprising any one of SEQ ID NOs: 3-8, 10-18, and 20-34, wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is covalently attached to a cell-penetrating peptide and linker moiety of the formula -G-CPP, wherein G is the linker moiety and is selected from glycine, cysteine, proline, 6-aminohexanoic acid (Ahx), β-alanine (B), and Ahx-B, and CPP is the cell-penetrating peptide and is selected from SEQ ID NOS: 39-54.
