The role of vascular pathology in SMA: implications for pathogenesis and treatment

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) has become a paradigm for precision medicine following the development of transformative therapies targeting the disease-causing deficiency of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. As more than 98% of SMA cases arise from mutations in the SMN1 gene, restoration of SMN expression through...
