The Company's initial two programs focuses on PCSK9 and ANGPTL3, two genes that regulate levels of blood lipids. Its pipeline of in vivo gene editing programs for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) includes VERVE-101 and ANGPTL3. The Company's lead product candidate, VERVE-101, is designed to be a single-course gene editing treatment that permanently turns off the PCSK9 gene in the liver.
