The acceleration of telemedicine during the pandemic has allowed us to gain vast insights into what works and what does not.
We share a case study of a pregnant woman with SMA type 3 and pertinent issues relating to her care.
We explore capsid-engineering gene therapy as a promising novel treatment for patients with spinal muscular atrophy, even those who are presymptomatic.
We explore the genetics underpinning spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and the merits of gene therapy in the management of patients with SMA.
How do novel therapies for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) perform against the respiratory function decline caused by the disease?
In recent years, one of the great leaps in medical advancements has been the development of drugs such as risdiplam, which is used to treat spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). It is the first drug to be approved as a survival motor neuron 2 (SMN2) mRNA splicing modifier. Dhillon did an excellent job describing the key…
We discuss the various ethical considerations in genetic screening and gene therapy for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
A group of researchers recently examined the fascinating link between spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and defective fatty acid metabolism.
The thrust of medical progress in treating SMA type 1 is now to bring it into the realm of rare but manageable diseases.
