ANA Highlights: Extraneuronal Phenotypes of Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Part 2

In part 2 of this series, Dr. Crystal Yeo, Assistant Professor at LKC School of Medicine, Associated Staff at Boston Children’s Hospital, joint Medical Director at EDDC and Group Leader at IMCB, continues on to review the changing therapeutic landscape for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), the extra-neuronal expression of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein, and motor neuron cell-non-autonomous rescue in animal models. What are the clinical implications for patients treated with SMN protein augmenting interventions? In the era of innovative therapies, why is it important for physicians, scientists and others to be aware of the potential emergence of extra-neuronal phenotypes in treated SMA patients?  Part 2 of 2.
