Targeting RNA structure in SMN2 reverses spinal muscular atrophy molecular phenotypes

Targeting RNA structure in SMN2 reverses spinal muscular atrophy molecular phenotypes

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder with no present cure. Here the authors perform an in vitro screening leading to the identification of a small molecule that alters the conformational dynamics of the TSL2 RNA structure and acts as a modulator of SMN exon 7 splicing.
