Reduction in Perioperative Risk in Patients with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Following the Release of Disease-Modifying Therapies: An Analysis of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Database

Children
Background/Objectives: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease resulting in proximal muscle weakness and paralysis. SMA treatment has radically changed in the past 10 years thanks to the development of novel therapies ...

Advances and limitations for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy

BMC Pediatrics, 2022
Spinal muscular atrophy (5q-SMA; SMA), a genetic neuromuscular condition affecting spinal motor neurons, is caused by defects in both copies of the SMN1 gene that produces survival motor neuron (SMN) protein.

In Vitro Modeling as a Tool for Testing Therapeutics for Spinal Muscular Atrophy and IGHMBP2-Related Disorders

Biology, 2023
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is the leading genetic cause of infant mortality. The most common form of SMA is caused by mutations in the SMN1 gene, located on 5q (SMA).

Engineering mRNA‐LNP Medicines for the Ageing Brain: Opportunities and Challenges for Neurodegenerative Diseases

Exploration, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in engineering messenger RNA (mRNA)‐lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to cross the ageing blood–brain barrier and target neurodegenerative diseases. It outlines design principles, delivery routes, and translational challenges, charting a roadmap towards clinical application of mRNA‐LNP therapeutics for neurodegenerative ...

Attitudes Toward Prenatal Interventions in the Fanconi Anemia Community

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective In‐utero cell and gene therapies may offer prenatal treatment options for inherited diseases. Preclinical data suggests in‐utero (IU) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) could prevent Fanconi anemia (FA) related bone marrow failure without genotoxic conditioning or immune suppression.

CASE REPORT: Liver Failure in a 4-month-old male with SMA type 2 after gene therapy/Onasemnogene abeparvovec (Zolgensma) [PDF]

, 2023
Introduction: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is characterized by muscle weakness and atrophy resulting from progressive degeneration of the anterior horn cells in the spinal cord and the brain stem nuclei. The onset of weakness ranges from before birth to

Selective modulation of NaV channel gating counteracts aberrant hyperexcitability and rescues motor function and survival in a model of spinal muscular atrophy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a motor neuron disease caused by SMN1 gene loss, leading to reduced survival motor neuron (SMN) protein and progressive motor neuron degeneration. Although SMN‐restoring therapies improve outcomes, residual disease burden and non‐curative efficacy underscore the need for complementary treatments ...

Autism spectrum disorder in children with spinal muscular atrophy type 1: Case series

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was identified in 37.5% of children with SMA (n = 13). While IQ did not differ significantly between groups, adaptive functioning was reduced in those with co‐occurring ASD. Results support routine early neurodevelopmental screening in children with spinal muscular atrophy.

Therapy development for spinal muscular atrophy: perspectives for muscular dystrophies and neurodegenerative disorders

Neurological Research and Practice, 2022
Background Major efforts have been made in the last decade to develop and improve therapies for proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The introduction of Nusinersen/Spinraza™ as an antisense oligonucleotide therapy, Onasemnogene abeparvovec/Zolgensma ...
