SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: N-Acetyl 

Mannosamine is a precursor for the 

synthesis of sugar molecules known as 

sialic acids which play an important 

role in specific biological processes 

such as cellular adhesion, cellular 

communication and signal transduction. 

Lack of sialic acids also play an 

important role in disease processes such 

as cancer, inflammation and immunity. 

This invention relates to methods of 

administering N-Acetyl Mannosamine 

or its derivative (to produce sialic acid 

in patients who are deficient in the 

sugar molecule) to treat muscular 

atrophy including hereditary inclusion 

body myopathy (HIBM) and distal 

myopathy with rimmed vacuoles 

(DMRV, or Nonaka myopathy). Certain 

kidney conditions such as those arising 

from hyposialytion of kidney 

membranes may be treated by this 

method as well. 

The prospective exclusive license will 

be royalty bearing and will comply with 

the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C. 

209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective 

exclusive license may be granted unless 

within sixty (60) days from the date of 

this published notice, the NIH receives 

written evidence and argument that 

establishes that the grant of the license 

would not be consistent with the 

requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 

CFR 404.7. 

Applications for a license in the field 

of use filed in response to this notice 

will be treated as objections to the grant 

of the contemplated exclusive license. 

Comments and objections submitted to 

this notice will not be made available 

for public inspection and, to the extent 

permitted by law, will not be released 

under the Freedom of Information Act, 

5 U.S.C. 552.

(Pub. L.) 100–503), amended the Privacy 

Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) by describing the 

conditions under which computer 

matching involving the Federal 

government could be performed and 

adding certain protections for 

individuals applying for, and receiving, 

Federal benefits. Section 7201of the 

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 

1990 (Pub. L. 101–508) further amended

The Privacy Act, as amended, 

regulates the use of computer matching 

by Federal agencies when records in a 

system of records are matched with 

other Federal, State, or local government

involved in computer matching 

programs to: 

(1) Negotiate written agreements with 

the other agency or agencies 

participating in the matching programs; 

(2) Obtain the approval of the 

matching agreement by the Data 

Integrity Boards (DIB) of the 

participating Federal agencies; 

(3) Publish notice of the computer 

matching program in the Federal 

Register; 

(4) Furnish detailed reports about 

matching programs to Congress and 

OMB; 

(5) Notify applicants and beneficiaries 

that their records are subject to 

matching; and 

(6) Verify match findings before 

reducing, suspending, terminating, or 

denying an individual’s benefits or 

payments.
