This disclosure relates to ionizable lipid-based lipid nanoparticles for delivery of mRNA encoding glucose-6-phosphatase. Lipid nanoparticle/mRNA therapies of the invention increase and/or restore deficient levels of glucose-6-phosphatase expression and activity in subjects and are useful for the treatment of glycogen storage disease type 1a (GSD-Ia). Lipid nanoparticle/mRNA therapies of the invention increase glucose production and reduce the abnormal accumulation of glycogen and glucose-6-phosphate associated with GSD-Ia.

The present disclosure provides zinc finger fusion proteins that inhibit expression of the prion gene in the nervous system, and methods of using the proteins to treat prion disease.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for cell transplantation therapy based on forced expression of an exogenous HLA-F protein in donor cells to be transplanted into a subject. In some embodiments, the donor cells express an exogenous chimeric HLA-F protein comprising an extracellular region comprising an HLA-F alpha 1 domain, an HLA alpha 2 domain, an HLA-F alpha 3 domain, a linker and a β2m protein.

Nucleic acid constructs and compositions that allow insertion and/or expression of a retinoschisin coding sequence are provided. Nuclease agents targeting RS1 loci are provided. Compositions and methods of using such constructs for integration into a target genomic locus and/or expression in a cell are also provided. Methods of treating X-linked juvenile retinoschisis using the nucleic acid constructs and compositions are also provided.

Compositions comprising nanoparticles, nanoplexes or virus comprising isolated nucleic acid comprising nucleic acid encoding a mammalian, and methods of using the compositions, are provided.

Provided herein are novel AAV capsids and rAAV comprising the same. In one embodiment, vectors employing the AAV capsid show increased transduction in a selected tissue as compared to a prior art AAV.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to compositions and methods of treating certain genetic disease (e.g., Neurofibromatosis type I) by delivering functional neurofibromin 1(NF1) protein (e.g., mini-NF1 protein and/or full-length NF1 protein) to target cell (e.g., cells and/or tissue of a subject). The disclosure is based, in part, on isolated nucleic acids (e.g., rAAV vectors) and rAAVs engineered to express a functional NF1 protein (e.g., mini-NF1 protein and/or full-length NF1 protein) or variants thereof.

The invention relates to compositions including polynucleotides encoding polypeptides which have been chemically modified by replacing the uridines with 1-methyl-pseudouridine to improve one or more of the stability and/or clearance in tissues, receptor uptake and/or kinetics, cellular access by the compositions, engagement with translational machinery, mRNA half-life, translation efficiency, immune evasion, protein production capacity, secretion efficiency, accessibility to circulation, protein half-life and/or modulation of a cell's status, function, and/or activity.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating a myopathy. In certain embodiments, the invention provides compositions and methods for treating, improving muscle function, and prolonging survival in a subject with X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM). The present invention provides a method comprising systemic administration of a composition that induces the increased expression of myotubularin in the muscle of a subject. The invention provides sustained regional and global increases in muscle function.

The present application provides materials and methods for treating a patient with one or more condition associated with FXN whether ex vivo or in vivo. In addition, the present application provides materials and methods for editing and/or modulating the expression of FXN gene in a cell by genome editing.
