13 Sep, 2019 New Evidence Demonstrating Significant Association of V122I TTR Gene Mutation with Clinical Diagnosis of Polyneuropathy

We presented new results from an analysis of the UK Biobank demonstrating a significant association of the V122I mutation, a highly prevalent mutation in the transthyretin (TTR) gene, with a clinical diagnosis of polyneuropathy. These results were presented at the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) 23^rd Annual Scientific Meeting, held September 13-16 in Philadelphia, PA.

21 Jun, 2019 New RNAi Platform Advances, Including Oral Route of Administration and CNS and Ocular Delivery

We presented new advances in our RNAi therapeutics platform, including preclinical results demonstrating oral delivery of GalNAc-conjugated small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) directed to a liver target. The results were presented at the 3^rd International Conference on the Long and the Short of Non-Coding RNAs, held June 18-23 in Crete, Greece. These new preclinical data are the first demonstration of functional delivery of GalNAc-siRNA conjugates via the oral route of administration, representing an important step forward in potentially advancing and expanding the clinical and commercial potential of RNAi therapeutics. We believe that this approach can be applied to existing and future liver-directed pipeline programs, potentially creating a relatively near-term opportunity for Alnylam.
