The invention relates to mRNA therapy for the treatment of Citrullinemia Type 2 (“CTLN2”). mRNAs for use in the invention, when administered in vivo, encode human Citrin, isoforms thereof, functional fragments thereof, and fusion proteins comprising Citrin. mRNAs of the invention are preferably encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to effect efficient delivery to cells and/or tissues in subjects, when administered thereto. mRNA therapies of the invention increase and/or restore deficient levels of Citrin expression and/or activity in subjects. mRNA therapies of the invention further decrease levels of biomarkers associated with deficient Citrin activity in subjects, namely ammonia and/or triglycerides.
本发明涉及用于治疗瓜氨酸血症2型("CTLN2")的mRNA疗法。用于本发明的mRNA在体内给药时,编码人Citrin、其异构体、其功能片段以及包含Citrin的融合蛋白。本发明的mRNA优选封装在脂质纳米颗粒(LNPs)中,以便在给药时有效地传递到受试者的细胞和/或组织中。本发明的mRNA疗法可增加和/或恢复受试者体内Citrin表达和/或活性的不足水平。本发明的mRNA疗法可进一步降低与受试者体内Citrin活性不足有关的生物标志物水平,即氨和/或甘油三酯。
