  • Patent number: 11866710
    Abstract: The present invention relates to RNAi agents, e.g., double stranded RNA (dsRNA) agents, targeting the Transmembrane protease, serine 6 (TMPRSS6) gene. The invention also relates to methods of using such RNAi agents to inhibit expression of a TMPRSS6 gene and to methods of preventing and treating a TMPRSS6-associated disorder, e.g., a disorder associated with iron overload and/or a disorder of ineffective erythropoiesis, e.g., hereditary hemochromatosis, ?-thalassemia (e.g., ?-thalassemia major and ?-thalassemia intermedia), polycythemia vera, myelodysplastic syndrome, congenital dyserythropoietic anemias, pyruvate kinase deficiency, erythropoietic porphyria, Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease or Friedreich's Ataxia.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: January 9, 2024
    Assignee: Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
    Inventors: Aimee M. Deaton, John Michael Gansner, James D. McIninch, Mark K. Schlegel, Benjamin P. Garfinkel

  • Publication number: 20230183706
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating subjects suffering from a kidney stone disease carrying a heterozygous AGXT gene variant, methods for identifying such subjects, and compositions comprising nucleic acid inhibitors, e.g., double stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) agents or single stranded antisense polynucleotide agents targeting lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) and/or hydroxyacid oxidase (HAO1), for treating such subjects.
