@tommy901 Thank you for all that good info. You may be aware that the reason this member & others (like me) think that Leqvio (inclisiran) is an mRNA is because that factoid is available on many search sites .. so we are just repeating what we have read. May I ask why & how you this is not the case (& why you think that statement got is out there so widely. Thank you.

@barb11brown As for why the “mRNA” label is so widespread:
Many search sites and summaries loosely group anything involving RNA as “mRNA,” even though that’s technically incorrect.
The public became familiar with the term “mRNA” during COVID, so it gets used as a catch-all.
Some articles oversimplify or misuse the terminology, and that error gets repeated.
So the short answer is: the statement is common because of terminology confusion, not because inclisiran actually functions as mRNA.
Hope that helps clear it up.
