Aldeyra Therapeutics to Present Novel Data on a Potential Treatment for Succinic Semi-Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Deficiency at the 2015 American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) Annual Meeting
Succinic Semi-aldehyde Dehydrogenase (SSADH) Deficiency is a rare disease caused by mutations in SSADH, leading to elevated levels of succinic semi-aldehyde that are then converted to neurotoxic metabolites. SSADH Deficiency is characterized clinically by neurological compromise that includes cognitive and developmental delay, decreased muscle tone, and, in some cases, seizures.

Poster: 477T
Date: Thursday, October 8th
Time: 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. E.T.
About NS2
NS2 is an aldehyde-binding small molecule based on an innovative platform technology focused on trapping free aldehydes, which are toxic and pro-inflammatory mediators of numerous diseases. By decreasing aldehyde load, NS2 may mitigate excessive inflammation and address diseases where aldehydes are thought to mediate pathology.
