Central and peripheral delivery of AAV9-SMN target different pathomechanisms in a mouse model of spinal muscular atrophy
2021-11-08
Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by loss of the SMN1 gene. Although lower motor neurons are a primary target, there is evidence that peripheral organ defects contribute to SMA. Current SMA gene therapy uses a single, high titre intravenous bolus of AAV9-SMN resulting in impressive, yet limited amelioration of the clinical phenotype. However, risks of this treatment include liver tox...
