Alnylam Pharmaceuticals and collaborators have identified rare mutations in the INHBE gene that is expressed in the liver, related to a lower waist-to-hip ratio for body mass index (BMI), which is often used as an indicator of abdominal fat and is correlated with the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary heart disease.

This mutation hinders the drug’s binding to the mutant EGFR protein. Osimertinib, however, can covalently bind to the T790M and cysteine-797 (C797) residue at the protein’s ATP binding site, overcoming resistance mechanisms. In the same study, those with T790M loss had a shorter treatment duration (6.1 months vs. 15.2

For example, progress made in developing gene mutant-specific inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), or cellular therapies. We were excited to unveil data showing that two distinct chemical series exhibit METTL1 inhibition in vitro at low nanomolar concentrations with minimal interference with other RNA and protein methyltransferases.

One form of FCMD is caused by a genetic abnormality in the ‘fukutin’ (FKTN) gene. One form of FCMD is caused by a genetic abnormality in the ‘fukutin’ (FKTN) gene. The genetic anomaly blocks the chemical glycosylation of a biologically important protein. The goal of our research was to find a cure for this intractable disease.
