Risdiplam works by targeting the SMN2 gene to induce increased production of the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein; a deficiency of this protein is what causes the most common forms of SMA.

A nearly identical gene, SMN2, produces low levels of functional SMN protein. Risdiplam is an SMN2 pre-mRNA splicing modifier designed to increase and sustain SMN protein levels centrally and ...

Evrysdi is a survival motor neuron 2 (SMN2) pre-mRNA splicing modifier designed to treat SMA caused by mutations in chromosome 5q that lead to survival of motor neuron (SMN) protein deficiency.

About Evrysdi ® (risdiplam) Evrysdi is a survival motor neuron 2 (SMN2) pre-mRNA splicing modifier designed to treat SMA caused by mutations in chromosome 5q that lead to survival of motor neuron ...

Nusinersen, an SMN2-targeted antisense oligonucleotide drug administered by intrathecal injection, was able to improve motor function and survival. Treatment with nusinersen can improve motor function ...

Early treatment in SMA provides benefits, but children with two SMN2 copies may still experience significant motor delays and disabilities. Infants with two SMN2 copies showed delayed motor ...

Adult-onset spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare neuromuscular disorder that primarily affects the motor neurons in the spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy. SMA is part of a ...

This oral small molecule is designed to get the SMN2 gene to produce more SMN protein. Scholar Rock takes a different and perhaps complementary approach to available SMA therapies. Treatments that ...

The RAINBOWFISH study included infants with two or more copies of the SMN2 gene. Generally, the lower the number, the more severe the disease. In SMA, the loss of motor neurons may begin before ...

Children were included in the study if they had a confirmed heterozygous mutation in SMN1 gene and 2 or 3 copies of SMN2, a body weight of ≤50 lbs, previous or current therapy with a DMT for SMA ...

Singh, a professor of biomedical science at Iowa State University, led an eight-year project to create a truncated version of the Survival Motor Neuron 2 (SMN2) gene to facilitate quicker ...

3 According to the NfL data regarding Spinraza, participants with two SMN2 copies experienced a major reduction of NfL levels, with infants under 9 months of age achieving an average reduction of 70%, ...
