Risdiplam for Prenatal Therapy of Spinal Muscular Atrophy | NEJM The alternate splicing small molecule risdiplam, administered to a fetus with spinal muscular atrophy, had an apparent ameliorating effect on the disorder through 30 months.

A toddler shows no signs of Spinal Muscular Atrophy after being treated in the womb— a first for the motor neuron disease, which causes muscle weakness and loss of movement. A breakthrough showing the power of early diagnosis and treatment! #SMA

Genetic testing for #ALS #MND should go beyond identifying a single mutation. Even if a known genetic cause is found. A comprehensive analysis provides a clearer understanding of the condition and can help guide care &research efforts. Happy to help in this fantastic project.
