Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common and oft-fatal pediatric neuromuscular disorder
caused by insufficient SMN protein. Now, two clinical trials (Mendell et al., 2017; Finkel et al.,
2017) demonstrate that restoring the protein is therapeutic, offering new treatment options
and renewed hope to SMA patients.
