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 keymitochondrial 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-MUTtransgene could be used through nonviral and viral gene delivery.

Development Stage:

• In vitro data available

• In vivo data available (animal)

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Background

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) United States Coast Guard proposes to update and reissue a current DHS system of records titled, DHS/United States Coast Guard– 010 Physical Disability Evaluation System Files System of Records.’’ The DHS/USCG–010 Physical Disability Evaluation System Files System of Records will allow the Department of Homeland Security/United States Coast Guard to collect and preserve the records regarding physical disability evaluation proceedings. As a result of a biennial review of the system, the system manager and address category has been updated to reflect the new mail stop.

Consistent with DHS’s informationsharing mission, information stored in the DHS/USCG–010 Physical Disability Evaluation System Files System of Records may be shared with other DHS components that have a need to know the information to carry out their national security, law enforcement, immigration, intelligence, or other homeland security functions. In addition, information may be shared with appropriate federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, foreign, or international government agencies consistent with the routine uses set forth in this system of records notice. This updated system will be included in DHS’s inventory of record systems.
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), DHS has provided a report of this system of records to the Office of Management and Budget and to Congress.
