Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by low levels of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. Several therapeutic approaches boosting SMN are approved for human patients, delivering remarkable improvements in lifespan and symptoms. However, emerging phenotypes, including neurodevelopmental comorbidities, are being reported in some treated patients with SMA, indicative of alterations in...
