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

Post-translational disruption of dystroglycan-ligand interactions in congenital muscular dystrophies

TL;DR: The results suggest that at least three distinct mammalian genes function within a convergent post-translational processing pathway during the biosynthesis of dystroglycan, and that abnormal dystoglycan–ligand interactions underlie the pathogenic mechanism of muscular dystrophy with brain abnormalities.
