2 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. Neuron  , DOI: ( /j.neuron ) Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc.
