Single-Dose Gene-Replacement Therapy for Spinal Muscular Atrophy
NEJM 377:1713-1722,1786, Mendell, J.R.,et al, 2017
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In patients with SMA1, a single intravenous infusion of adeno-associated viral vector containing DNA coding for SMN resulted in longer survival, superior achievement of motor milestones, and better motor function than in historical cohorts. Further studies are necessary to confirm the safety and efficacy of this gene therapy.
