High Lp(a) is a genetic risk factor that impacts at least 20% of the global population and is a major cause for #cardiovasculardisease. Currently there are no approved treatments that selectively target Lp(a) and testing is not widespread.

About us
Our 20-plus years of RNAi experience together with our validated mRNAi GOLD™ platform make us a partner of choice for pharmaceutical companies looking to access the benefits of the siRNA and add this revolutionary modality to their discovery pipeline. As pioneers in the design and development of siRNAs (short interfering RNAs), Silence Therapeutics is advancing a new generation of medicines to potentially address the needs of patients who have limited or inadequate treatment options. Our mission is to use our technology to create a new generation of therapeutics which can improve outcomes for patients and, in the process, build shareholder value. We are developing a deep pipeline of innovative siRNAs based on our mRNAi GOLD™ platform for diseases with a genetic basis. The depth and versatility of our liver-targeting technology gives us the opportunity to address a wide range of conditions in virtually any therapeutic area.

Elevated lipoprotein(a) is mostly genetic and even people with a healthy lifestyle could be at risk. In fact, many people don't have symptoms. This is why awareness about testing and understanding the risk of #Lpa is important, and why we are on a mission to discover treatment options for elevated Lp(a).

"I may look fine, but I got a whole lot of stuff going on inside me.” In this Voices Of MPN video, Mickey, diagnosed with polycythemia vera (PV), shares the realities of living with PV and why #FineIsNotEnough. Stories like this continue to inspire us to silence diseases like #polycythemiavera through precision engineered medicines: https://bit.ly/3BFiZLW #SilenceIsGOLDen

Great to see our paper on phosphorothioate (PS2) linkages and modifications being shared across the #oligo community. We always welcome feedback and #partnership.
Phosphorothioates are one of our most-requested modifications, but their inherent stereochemistry can affect their analysis and purification downstream. Silence Therapeutics plc has published data on working with the very-similar phosphorodithioate modification instead, which eliminates these stereochemical concerns without a significant negative effect on the activity of the oligos. Our team loves to tackle projects with cutting-edge modifications like PS2 bonds. Let us know if you'd like to start a project with new or unique mods today!

As the need for better understanding, more testing, and new treatment options for elevated Lp(a) continues to increase so does our understanding of this genetically determined CVD risk factor. At the recent Family Heart Global Summit, Seth J. Baum, MD, vice-chair and chair-elect of the Family Heart Foundation, added to the conversation. Dr Baum shared results from the Family Heart Database that demonstrated a link between higher #Lpa levels and an increased risk of #cardiovasculardisease.
