COMBINATION THERAPY FOR SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHY

摘要

Aspects of the application relate to compositions and methods for treating spinal muscular atrophy in a subject. In particular, this application provides therapeutic combinations of a small molecule that promotes SMN function and/or a recombinant nucleic acid that encodes the survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) protein (e.g., in a viral vector), and/or an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) that increases full-length survival of motor neuron 2 (SMN2) mRNA (e.g., that is targeted to a nucleic acid molecule encoding the survival of motor neuron 2 (SMN2) and promotes the inclusion of exon 7 in SMN2 mRNA).
