LEXINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Synageva BioPharma Corp. (Synageva) (NASDAQ:GEVA), a biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutic products for rare diseases, today announced SBC-103 data from an oral and poster presentation at the LDN WORLD Symposium being held February 11-13 in San Diego, California. Synageva is investigating SBC-103 as an enzyme replacement for the alpha-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAGLU) enzyme for mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB (MPS IIIB, also known as Sanfilippo B syndrome). MPS IIIB is caused by a decrease in NAGLU enzyme activity which leads to the buildup of abnormal amounts of heparan sulfate in the brain and other organs. The SBC-103 preclinical data presented at the meeting confirms results from previous studies, describes a potential mechanism for central nervous system uptake, and supports further clinical investigation of SBC-103 with intravenous administration.
