1/@BeamTx has recently reported new preclinical data demonstrating the ability of its in vivo drug candidate $BEAM-302 to directly correct the PiZ mutation - the primary disease-causing mutation associated with severe alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). #BioTech #CRISPR $XBI Beam Therapeutics - a biotechnology company developing precision genetic medicines through base editing, today reported new preclinical data demonstrating the ability of its in vivo drug candidate, BEAM-302, to directly correct the PiZ mutation, the primary disease-causing mutation associated with severe alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). 2/Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is the lack of a protein made by the patient’s liver. AATD is a genetic disease that can affect both the patient’s liver or the lung. Lung problems typically begin at the age of 20-50 and can include shortness of breath, wheezing, or an increased risk of lung infections.

1/As promised & after reading $NTLA latest Q1 2022 financial report here is my analysis regarding @intelliatx latest corporate status. I have focused only on the main issues that I found to be the most interesting & relevant. #CRISPR #GeneEditing #BioTech #FinTwit #Genomics👇 2/NTLA-2001 is the most advanced In-Vivo #CRISPR/#Cas9 #GeneEditing program in $NTLA portfolio & is aimed to treat Transthyretin Amyloidosis - (ATTR). NTLA-2001 could potentially halt & reverse the disease in a “one time” treatment by knocking out the TTR gene with a single dose
