US Patent 11685906 Compositions and methods for treating ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency

The present disclosure provides a modified human OTC protein having improved properties for the treatment of OTC deficiency in a patient. Preferably, the protein of the disclosure is produced from a codon optimized mRNA suitable for administration to a patient suffering from OTC deficiency wherein upon administration of the mRNA to the patient, the protein of the disclosure is expressed in the patient in therapeutically effective amounts to treat OTC deficiency. The present disclosure also provides codon optimized mRNA sequences encoding wild type human OTC comprising a 5′ UTR derived from a gene expressed by
