Abstract
This disclosure relates to ionizable amino lipid-based lipid nanoparticles for delivery of mRNA encoding propionyl-CoA carboxylase alpha (PCCA) and propionyl-CoA carboxylase beta (PCCB). Lipid nanoparticle/mRNA therapies of the invention increase and/or restore deficient levels of PCCA and/or PCCB expression and/or activity in subjects and are useful for the treatment of propionic academia.
