Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides, among other things, methods of treating phenylketonuria (PKU), including administering to a subject in need of treatment a composition comprising an mRNA encoding phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) at an effective dose and an administration interval such that at least one symptom or feature of PKU is reduced in intensity, severity, or frequency or has delayed in onset. In some embodiments, the mRNA is encapsulated in a liposome comprising one or more cationic lipids, one or more non-cationic lipids, one or more cholesterol-based lipids and one or more PEG-modified lipids.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A composition for treating phenylketonuria (PKU), comprising an mRNA encoding phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) at an effective dose amount encapsulated within a liposome, wherein the liposome comprises one or more cationic lipids, one or more non-cationic lipids, one or more cholesterol-based lipids and one or more PEG-modified lipids and wherein the liposome has a size less than 100 nm, wherein serum phenylalanine levels are reduced as compared to baseline serum phenylalanine levels before treatment, wherein the mRNA comprises SEQ ID NO:3. 2. A composition for treating phenylketonuria (PKU), comprising an mRNA encoding phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) at an effective dose amount encapsulated within a liposome, wherein the mRNA comprises SEQ ID NO:3, and further wherein the liposome comprises one or more cationic lipids, one or more non-cationic lipids, one or more cholesterol-based lipids and one or more PEG-modified lipids and wherein the liposome has a size less than 100 nm. 3. A composition for treating phenylketonuria (PKU), comprising an mRNA encoding phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) at an effective dose amount encapsulated within a liposome, wherein the liposome comprises one or more cationic lipids, one or more non-cationic lipids, one or more cholesterol-based lipids and one or more PEG-modified lipids and wherein the liposome has a size less than 100 nm, wherein serum phenylalanine levels are reduced as compared to baseline serum phenylalanine levels before treatment, wherein the mRNA encoding phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) has a coding sequence 100% identical to SEQ ID NO: 3.
