protein and fat by-products resulting in 

seizures, strokes, and chronic kidney 

failure. A significant portion of MMA 

cases stem from a deficiency in a key 

mitochondrial enzyme, methylmalonylCoA mutase (MUT), required to break 

down amino acids and lipids. Currently, 

there are no treatments for MMA and 

the disease is managed primarily with 

dietary restriction of amino acid 

precursors and liver-kidney 

transplantation in severe cases. 

The present invention describes a 

synthetic codon-optimized MUT gene 

(co-MUT) that improves expression of 

human methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. A 

series of novel gene therapy vectors 

containing co-MUT rescued MMA mice 

from lethality and lowered levels of 

methylmalonic acid in the blood. 

Results of pre-clinical efficacy studies 

demonstrate a promising therapy for 

MMA and other renal-associated 

disorders. 

Potential Commercial Applications: 

• The co-MUT transgene could be 

used to treat MMA patients. 

• In addition, it could be used to 

produce MUT in vitro for MMA enzyme 

replacement therapy. 

Competitive Advantages: co-MUT 

transgene could be used through nonviral and viral gene delivery. 

Development Stage: 

• In vitro data available 

• In vivo data available (animal)

II. Privacy Act 

The Privacy Act embodies fair 

information practice principles in a 

statutory framework governing the 

means by which Federal Government 

agencies collect, maintain, use, and 

disseminate individuals’ records. The 

Privacy Act applies to information that 

is maintained in a ‘‘system of records.’’ 

A ‘‘system of records’’ is a group of any 

records under the control of an agency 

from which information is retrieved by 

the name of an individual or by some 

identifying number, symbol, or other 

identifying particular assigned to the 

individual. In the Privacy Act, an 

individual is defined to encompass U.S. 

citizens and lawful permanent 

residents. As a matter of policy, DHS 

extends administrative Privacy Act 

protections to all individuals when 

systems of records maintain information 

on U.S. citizens, lawful permanent 

residents, and visitors. 

Below is the description of the DHS/ 

USCG–010 Physical Disability 

Evaluation System Files System of 

Records. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r),
