Figure 1 Strategies to Restore SMN as a Means to Treat SMA SMN repletion is effected either by using an antisense moiety such as Nusinersen or by transducing cells with an AAV9 vector harboring a copy of the SMN1 gene. Each approach raises SMN in the cell and rescues/prevents the SMA phenotype. Note: text in gray denotes homozygous mutations in SMN1.
