GBA1 Programs

GBA1 mutations are the most significant genetic risk factor for PD, increasing risk 5-20x depending on mutation severity [9].

GBA1 ASO Strategy:

  • GBA1 encodes glucocerebrosidase (GCase), essential for lysosomal function
  • GBA1 mutations cause loss of GCase activity, leading to alpha-synuclein accumulation
  • ASO approach: Increase GBA1 expression to compensate for reduced enzyme activity

Current Development:

  • Ionis has partnered with Genzyme (Sanofi) on LRRK2-targeting ASOs
  • GBA1 programs remain in preclinical development

LRRK2 Programs

LRRK2 mutations are the most common genetic cause of familial PD, accounting for 1-5% of all cases [10].

LRRK2 ASO Development:

  • Kinase inhibitors failed due to safety (lung toxicity)
  • ASO approach: Reduce LRRK2 protein rather than inhibit kinase activity
  • Ionis/Genzyme LRRK2 ASO completed Phase 1 showing safety and target engagement

SNCA Programs

Alpha-synuclein aggregation is the pathological hallmark of PD, making SNCA reduction a priority [11].

SNCA ASO Strategy:

  • Reduce alpha-synuclein expression to prevent aggregation
  • Challenge: Essential neuronal protein; complete knockdown may cause toxicity
  • Solution: Partial reduction sufficient to prevent pathology

Current Status:

  • Multiple programs in preclinical development
  • Delivery remains key challenge (BBB penetration)
