Abstract in brief

  • SMA type 1 is a serious genetic condition that leads to early life motor challenges, often resulting in death or the need for ventilators by age 2.
  • Researchers conducted a study with 15 infants, using a single dose of a gene therapy to replace the mutated SMN1 gene responsible for this condition.
  • Results showed that all patients were alive and symptom-free at 20 months, significantly outperforming historical survival rates, with many achieving important motor milestones, though some experienced mild liver enzyme elevation.

Bueno a lo mejor nadie lo leyó aún y todos están opinando sin leer especialmente nuestros periodistas.... Aunque dudo que entiendan realmente los resultados de este estudio... La información no da frutos en cualquier suelo https://t.co/yzkMij4ykf
