Nusinersen versus Sham Control in Infantile-Onset Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Richard S. Finkel, +397 more
TL;DR: Those who received nusinersen were more likely to be alive and have improvements in motor function than those in the control group and infants with a shorter disease duration at screening wereMore likely than those with a longer disease duration to benefit from nusineren.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of full-length utrophin prevents muscular dystrophy in mdx mice

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that expression of full-length utrophin in mdx mice prevents the development of muscular dystrophy and provides evidence that the pathology depends on the amount of utphin expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathophysiology of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Current Hypotheses

TL;DR: Because no etiologic therapy is available for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a better understanding of the primary and downstream mechanisms could prove useful for producing new adjuvant treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity suggest therapeutic implications in SCN2A-related disorders.

Markus Wolff, +86 more
- 01 May 2017 - 
TL;DR: Clinical and experimental data suggest a correlation between age at disease onset, response to sodium channel blockers and the functional properties of mutations in children with SCN2A-related epilepsy, and suggest that mutations associated with early infantile epilepsy result in increased sodium channel activity with gain-of-function.
