Austin Leclaire was a remarkable young man with Duchenne who raised awareness about his devastating disease, and as a patient advocate, played a pivotal role in spurring the development of the first medicines to treat it. Austin died on Feb. 1. He was 26. www.statnews.com/2025/02/06/a...

Prusiner said in an interview about his discovery of Prions: "if it wasn't a virus, and it wasn't a bacteria, then we knew what it was... it was a Nobel Prize" I'm reminded to that interview when reading about these "obelisks" RNA mini-life forms 🤯 www.scientificamerican.com/article/weir...

FDA employees had to withdraw last week from external meetings, including the joint FDA-ASGCT workshop on AAV gene therapies. This has also impacted the PFDD meeting on Angelman syndrome. I'm hoping this "temporary pause" is short-lived. It is already hurting #RareDisease medicine development 💔

🧬 If you work on a neurological #RareDisease you should be following the news around Neurogene's gene therapy for #Rett syndrome. They have very positive results in the clinic and also a really bad safety problem at a higher dose. Good chat with CEO in link: ir.neurogene.com/events/event...
