Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.

The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 4.
 
The Reporting Persons acquired the securities reported herein for investment purposes and intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Subject to the Lock-Up Agreement (defined in Item 6 below) and depending on various factors, including but not limited to the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, price levels of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets, various laws and regulations applicable to the Issuer and companies in its industry and the Reporting Persons’ ownership in the Issuer, and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including changing their current intentions, with respect to any or all matters required to be disclosed in this Schedule 13D. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to the terms of the document described above, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, acquire or cause affiliates to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, dispose, or cause affiliates to dispose, of some or all of the shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer or continue to hold, or cause affiliates to hold, shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer (or any combination or derivative thereof).
 
In addition, without limitation, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the board of directors of the Issuer, stockholders of the Issuer or other securityholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or take other actions concerning any extraordinary corporate transaction (including but not limited to a merger, reorganization or liquidation) or the business, operations, assets, strategy, future plans, prospects, corporate structure, board composition, management, capitalization, dividend policy, charter, bylaws, corporate documents, agreements, de-listing or de-registration of the Issuer.

Registration Rights Agreement
 
On June 26, 2019, the Issuer, KKR Genetic Disorder, Viking Global Opportunities Illiquid Investments Sub-Master LP and certain other shareholders of the Issuer entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuer granted certain demand registration rights, short-form registration rights and piggyback registration rights to such shareholders. The rights of any shareholder under the Registration Rights Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (i) such time as all of such shareholder’s shares of Common Stock could be sold without any restriction on volume or manner of sale in any three-month period under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; (ii) a change of control of the Issuer; and (iii) such time as such shareholder no longer owns at least two percent of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.
 
Lock-Up Agreement
 
On February 13, 2019, the Reporting Persons entered into a letter agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Reporting Persons agreed that for a period of 180 days after the date of the prospectus used to sell the shares of Common Stock in the IPO, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters and subject to limited exceptions, they will not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, or enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock. The Lock-Up Agreement automatically terminates and shall be of no further force or effect following the expiration of the 180-day lock-up period.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the Registration Rights Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements filed as Exhibits C and D to this Schedule 13D, and incorporated herein by reference.
