The ASO Nusinersen ameliorates motor function and prevents Cajal body disassembly and abnormal poly(A) RNA distribution in motor neurons from a Spinal Muscular Atrophy mouse model [PDF]
: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a devastating autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease characterized by degeneration of spinal cord alpha motor neurons (αMNs). It is caused by the homozygous deletion or mutation of the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1)

A multidisciplinary approach to dosing nusinersen for spinal muscular atrophy
In December 2016, nusinersen gained FDA approval as the first pharmacologic treatment for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a disorder of motor neurons and the leading genetic cause of infant mortality. Nusinersen's intrathecal delivery requirement, strict dosage protocol, and accelerated FDA approval presented a challenge to health care centers hoping to

Feature Engineering for the Prediction of Scoliosis in 5q‐Spinal Muscular Atrophy
ABSTRACT Background 5q‐Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is now one of the 5% treatable rare diseases worldwide. As disease‐modifying therapies alter disease progression and patient phenotypes, paediatricians and consulting disciplines face new unknowns in their treatment decisions. Conclusions made from historical patient data sets are now mostly limited,

Circulating MyomiRs as Potential Biomarkers to Monitor Response to Nusinersen in Pediatric SMA Patients [PDF]
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in survival motor neuron (SMN) 1 gene, resulting in a truncated SMN protein responsible for degeneration of brain stem and spinal motor neurons. The paralogous SMN2 gene

The Expanding Landscape of Alternative Splicing Variation in Human Populations. [PDF]
Alternative splicing is a tightly regulated biological process by which the number of gene products for any given gene can be greatly expanded. Genomic variants in splicing regulatory sequences can disrupt splicing and cause disease.

The dynamic of changes of pNFH levels in the CSF compared with the motor scales’ scores during three years of nusinersen treatment in children with spinal muscular atrophy types 2 and 3 [PDF]
Neurofilaments are crucial in neuronal cytoskeleton formation, influencing axonal growth and impulse modulation. This study focuses on understanding the dynamics of the phosphorylated neurofilament heavy subunit (pNFH) in pediatric spinal muscular ...

Patients’ Perceptions of Nusinersen Effects according to Their Responder Status
Background and Objective: Patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) treated with a dis-ease-modifying therapy (DMT) are often classified as responders or non-responders based on at-tainment of a specific improvement threshold on validated functional scales. This categorization may significantly impact treatment reimbursement in some countries.
