BMN-185 - IgA protease for IgA nephropathy: BioMarin is completing early preclinical work and expects to move to the next phase of research in the first half of 2010.

BioMarin continues to explore partnering options for this program.

6R-BH4 Cardiovascular: BioMarin has decided to put the PAH opportunity for 6R-BH4 on hold, pending discussions with potential partners.
