Amsterdam Molecular Therapeutics (Euronext: AMT), a leader in the field of human gene therapy, was informed on Friday January 27, 2012 after business hours that the European Commission's Standing Committee of the European Parliament discussed on Monday January 22, 2012 the implementation decision not to grant marketing authorization for Glybera (alipogene tiparvovec) as recommended by the Committee for Human Medicinal Products (CHMP).
