Type 1 GM1 Gangliosidosis Overview
10
▪ Autosomal recessive genetic disorder, cause by inactivating mutation of the lysosomal enzyme β-galactosidase (GLB1)
▪ Abnormal upregulation of lysosomal enzymes in serum
▪ Extensive brain storage lesions
▪ Gait abnormalities by 4 months of age, developmental regression by 6 months
▪ Rapid progression with mortality by ~2 years of age
▪ No disease modifying therapies currently available
▪ The estimated worldwide incidence of infantile GM1 gangliosidosis is 0.5–1:100,000 live births

CRITERIA
• Diagnosis of type 1 GM1 gangliosidosis
• Documented symptom onset before
12 months of age
• Documentation of homozygous GLB1
gene deletion or mutation and GLB1
activity < lower limit of normal.
• Documented symptom onset by
6 months of age with hypotonia on
exam or history elicited from
parent/caregiver

Overview of Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD)
Caused by Progranulin Mutations
▪ FTD typically presents around age 60-70
- A subset of familial forms of FTD is caused by mutations that lead to a deficiency in progranulin
- Average survival 8 yrs. from symptom onset
▪ Shrinking of the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain
- Causes impairment of executive function, language and/or social interaction
▪ No disease modifying therapies currently available
▪ Goal of therapy: restore CSF PGRN levels to normal
▪ 20,000-30,000 patients with FTD (between the ages of 45-64)1

Frontotemporal Dementia PGRN
Preclinical Program
Evaluated potential to achieve therapeutic expression levels in a large animal model
▪ Proprietary AAV vector expressing human PGRN administered ICM to 2 rhesus macaques
▪ Necropsy 35 days post injection
▪ CSF PGRN levels reached 5-10x those of normal human subjects
▪ No abnormalities noted on weekly physical exam or daily observations
▪ No significant abnormalities noted on weekly CBC/chem, LFTs, CSF analysis
▪ No brain pathology
14Two adult rhesus macaques were treated with ICM AAV on study day 0.
Human PGRN was measured in CSF by ELISA..

Krabbe Disease Overview
15
▪ Autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the hydrolytic enzyme galactosylceramidase (GALC)
▪ Global incidence: 1 in 100,0001
▪ Destroys the myelin of nerve cells in the brain and throughout the nervous system
▪ Early infantile Krabbe disease2
▪ Most severe, 60–70% of diagnoses
▪ Symptoms develop before 6 months of age
▪ Survival is ~2 years
▪ Late infantile Krabbe disease3
▪ 10–30% of diagnoses
▪ Onset between 7-12 months of age
▪ Survival is ~5 years
▪ No disease modifying therapies currently available
