Bobby Gaspar

Anupam. Thanks

XCGD. So, yes, on

to you, So this remind just program proof-of-concept. showed so

ago time we So for that responses some the patient. and we the in talk XCGD older saw about best

late were young and adolescents these adults. So

we as patients gene pediatric why affect the it's did of then see some case. and does well should unclear of and those also the it be pediatric engraftment not robust to actually cells modified patients as Now that

population move section -- have pivotal of able study, to to in entire the So want order to the a be we one than rather treat to population. just we

are And protocol. more an treating so what pediatric we're patients amended conditioning with doing is we

can successful the as we say patients that in see population. a so I'll engraftment well treats move to And I'd those study, and pivotal that treat, then say entire

work the next So, the that's piece on pediatric front. of

The that for to such this a in a large other place want manufacturing we is the right thing and large have indication. indication is

is the transduction. work using effective there make terms how how for example patient ongoing also -- about enhancers So more in transduced to and we we of and cells efficient vector transduction facilitate

a treat is we'll able there on pivotal be So also Once on patients And in study. amending well. have the the manufacturing. then those as pediatric to piece the to we protocol to place, move

So that's ongoing. that's the work

So those been are have all our development. treated clinical patients that in

David Nierengarten

And a follow-up. quick maybe just

identified mean, initial -- population. incident discussed Frank be more the such of course fair will to put I the on screening that focus assume that as You infantile is to patients. it in your

the rather infantile early juvenile population than population? the So,

Bobby Gaspar

this all really. two there's to it's and One diagnosis. strands early I think is, about

mutation who clearly very screening, identify gene. Newborn in have gene, patients being in able MLD is important the to ARSA the that all

And very hard so if on working I'd that. be

of the a anticipate year actually starting in we pilot in Europe and before starting end US, the before also year. So end the of the also Italy pilot a the in

But and we quickly as we're pilots diagnosis putting so in and is screening. and about starts, lot as as before a have newborn pilots all of trying into wider testing, there so we And of other it well get of diagnosis early implementation diagnosis is genetic to -- a that disease effort screening get you that those a so do so a that diagnostic place, get awareness, disease activities the if better -- suspicion possible. newborn

losing are of also be have right could able that aware do to are MLD efforts made ongoing but who all to So both that prevalent those that the diagnose motor population for skills that will is for population and incident individual have may they'll physicians of test this exist the the the and importance early. -- that be may fact as chart well so
