- Spinraza (nusinersen) is an RNA-based molecule designed to increase levels of the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein, which is lacking in people with SMA due to mutations in the SMN1 gene. It is the only medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat multiple types of SMA in both adults and children1. Clinical data has shown the medication can significantly improve motor function and survival in children with SMA types 1, 2, and 32.Learn more:✕This summary was generated using AI based on multiple online sources.

WEBTherefore, mechanisms involving the alternation of SMN2 splicing (by restoring the inclusion of exon 7) were proposed as gene therapy in SMA: the safety and efficacy of Nusinersen-Spinraza (leading to the inclusion of exon 7 in the SMN2 mRNA transcripts by silencing the splicing in the SMN2 intron 7) administered intrathecally was shown, so it approved as a …
Embracing the unexpected after my 30th Spinraza injection
WEBI thought I’d be celebrating my 30th Spinraza injection with excitement and awe at the journey I’ve been on for the past seven years. But living with spinal muscular atrophy ( SMA ), I’ve also learned to expect the unexpected. My body calls the shots, so I’m always prepared for any challenges that come my way.

Multidisciplinary approach on divergent outcomes in spinal
WEBOur study elucidates how similar approaches to managing SMA can yield distinct outcomes, emphasizing the imperative for personalized gene-based interventions in effectively addressing these conditions. Two patients were referred for further management due to clinical suspicion of type-3 SMA.

WEBThat disparity in cost is because of the nature of treatment. Zolgensma, a gene therapy, requires only one dose to halt the progression of SMA. In contrast, Spinraza is a medication that is taken indefinitely to induce cells to produce functional copies of the SMN2 gene. If Spinraza were discontinued, it would lead to progression of the disease.
