TSHA-104 for SURF1-Associated Leigh
Syndrome TSHA-104 SURF1 deficiency Steven Gray, PhD Chief Scientific Advisor, UTSW Gene Therapy Program Suyash Prasad, MBBS, MSc, MRCP, MRCPCH, FFPM Chief Medical Officer and Head of R&D
TSHA-104 SURF1 deficiency SURF1
deficiency is the most common cause of Leigh syndrome A monogenic mitochondrial disorder Most common cause of cytochrome c oxidase deficient Leigh syndrome Leigh syndrome - severe neurological disorder that presents in the first year of life
Initially often presents with gastrointestinal symptoms Progressive loss of mental and movement abilities, often regression is episodic in nature Can result in death within two to three years ~10-15% have SURF1 mutation No approved therapies
Estimated prevalence of SURF1 deficiency is 300 to 400 patients (US+EU)
SURF1 deficiency - the most
challenging symptoms as reported by families and caregivers Breathing (3 caregivers) Breathing issues (x3) Strength (6 caregivers) Muscle weakness (x4) Inability to sit (x3) Head and trunk control (x2) Inability to stand Movement and motor skills (8
caregivers) Loss of balance (x4) Tremors (x4) Crawling (x2) Inability to walk Reaching Dystonia and chorea Feeding/nutrition (6 caregivers) Failure to thrive (x3) Feeding issues (x2) Swallowing issues (x2) Constipation (x2) Vomiting Vision (4
caregivers) Nystagmus (x4) Strabismus (x2) Speech (3 caregivers) Speech (x3) Other Sleep issues (x2) Scoliosis Nearly all caregivers cited a symptom related to movement; however, the specific symptom varied greatly based on the disease progression,
the child's interests, and age. For example, interests in drawing, writing, or school caused tremors to top the list. Several caregivers mentioned a symptom related to nutrition and/or strength. Nutrition was seen as the root of other issues
and caregivers felt improvements there could mean improvements in overall strength and other symptoms. While breathing issues were only experienced by a few, if children experienced breathing issues they most certainly topped the list. Caregiver

SURF1 deficiency natural history study
- Initial symptoms Review of 44 cases with SURF1 deficiency Median age for first symptom onset was 9.5 months (range 0-60 months); majority presented in the first year (32/44, 73%) Most frequently noted initial symptoms included poor
feeding/vomiting (frequently attributed to gastroesophageal reflux) and poor weight gain Neonatal period uneventful in majority of patients (41/44, 93%) Most (26/44, 59%) presented with combination of GI symptoms, poor weight gain and hypotonia
Developmental regression (loss of cognitive or motor skills) was initial symptom in 3/44 (7%) patients Wedatilake et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis 2013 TSHA-104 SURF1 deficiency Initial symptoms Number of patients (%) Age range of initial
presentation (months) poor feeding/vomiting 20 (46) 0-24 poor weight gain 19 (43) 1.5-20 developmental delay 10 (23) 9-51 hypotonia 9 (21) 0-10 movement disorder 3 (7) 10-24 developmental regression 3 (7) 10-18 ataxia 2 (5) 14-60 Initial symptoms in
44 patients with SURF1 deficiency
SURF1 deficiency natural history study
- Major clinical features Symptoms occurring in ~80%+: vomiting/feeding problems, growth failure, hypotonia, developmental delay and respiratory failure. Median time to onset of most symptoms was 1-2 years TSHA-104 SURF1 deficiency Wedatilake
et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis 2013
SURF1 deficiency natural history study
- Survival Among 44 patients with detailed clinical data, 5 were alive at time of writing (ages 2-19 years); current vital status was unknown for 3 Of the 36 deceased patients with known cause of death, the cause was central respiratory
failure in 29/36 (80%) Seven patients survived beyond 10 years of age Of these, 6 had neurological symptoms such as ataxia and motor developmental delay; of note, GI symptoms were not the prominent presenting feature in these cases. Furthermore,
these six patients also did not experience developmental regression Literature searches identified 98 SURF1-deficient cases with available survival data, which were pooled together with the data from the 44 cases. The Kaplan-Meier analysis compares
the survival experience of 142 SURF1-deficient cases to two other groups with LS due to nuclear gene mutations (56 with LRPPRC deficiency and 63 with nuclear-encoded complex I-deficient LS/"Leigh- like" disease) Median survival length
for SURF1 deficiency was 5.4 years (25th centile 3.0, 75th centile 10 years) TSHA-104 SURF1 deficiency Wedatilake et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis 2013 Survival Probability

Slight increase in COX1 activity
significantly improved clinical phenotype Of 17 samples, 14 were assayed 8 Leigh syndrome & 6 healthy donors (hets) Severely affected individuals had roughly 50% of normal activity Mildly affected individuals had roughly 58% of normal activity A
relatively small difference in activity could have significant clinical consequences Other studies measuring COX activity have shown roughly 20% of normal activity for affected individuals Potential reason - "healthy" donors are
heterozygote parents of affected children; this and their age may affect their COX activity. In other studies, healthy children were used for reference TSHA-104 SURF1 deficiency Healthy (Het)

Q & A TSHA-104 SURF1
TSHA-105 for SLC13A5 Deficiency
TSHA-105 SLC13A5 deficiency Rachel Bailey, PhD UTSW Gene Therapy Program Suyash Prasad, MBBS, MSc, MRCP, MRCPCH, FFPM Chief Medical Officer and Head of R&D
SLC13A5 deficiency is a rare
autosomal recessive disorder Bi-allelic loss of function in the SLC13A5 gene, resulting in a loss or reduction in citrate transport and aberrant cellular metabolism Patients have impaired motor function, speech production and seizures Signs and
symptoms include seizures within a few days of birth, persisting through life, encephalopathy, delayed speech/language development, developmental regression and abnormalities in tooth enamel First-line treatment is anti-seizure medications Estimated
prevalence of SLC13A5 deficiency is 1,900 patients in the US and EU Received orphan drug and rare pediatric disease designations Bhutia et al, Molecules 2017 TSHA-105 SLC13A5 deficiency NORMAL SLC13A5 mutation
SLC13A5 involvement in citrate
transport Disorder caused by mutations in both copies of the SLC13A5 gene which codes for a sodium dependent citrate transporter (NaCT) SLC13A5 mutations greatly reduce or eliminate citrate transporter activity Citrate is a key metabolite and plays
an important role in energy generation pathways in the cells NaCT expressed mainly in liver and brain NaCT can transport other molecules (succinate, alpha-ketoglutarate, and malate) SLC13A5 deficient patients have increased citrate levels in CSF and
blood TSHA-105 SLC13A5 deficiency
SLC13A5 deficiency results in
persistent seizures and developmental delays Seizures Affected children present with seizures within a few days of birth which persist throughout life Multiple seizure types; Anti-epileptic drugs (phenobarbital, valproate, and acetazolamide) have
varying success in controlling seizures Refractory to medication Children can succumb to complications of the seizures Movement Disorder Low muscle tone (hypotonia) and a lack of muscle control or coordination of voluntary movements, such as walking
or picking up an object (ataxia) Episodes of body stiffening or weakness (minutes to a few hours) Dystonia & chorea TSHA-105 SLC13A5 deficiency Yang et al. Child Neurology Open 2020 Developmental Delay Intellectual disability and global
developmental delay Limited to no speech production, but have receptive language Limited and slow motor progress with problems standing or walking independently Biomarkers Nearly all children have abnormal tooth enamel Brain MRIs appear normal or
have subtle changes in the white matter EEGs have a relatively well-preserved background for age, even in the face of frequent seizures Elevated citrate levels in blood, urine and CSF No currently approved therapies Patients require constant
supervision and care
