Implications of circulating neurofilamentsfor spinal muscular atrophytreatment early in life: A case series
This longitudinal cohort study aimed to determine whether circulating neurofilaments (NFs) can monitor response to molecular therapies in newborns with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA; NCT02831296). We applied a mixed-effect model to examine differences in serum NF levels among healthy control infants...

We applied a mixed-effect model to examine differences in serum NF levels among healthy control infants (n = 13), untreated SMA infants (n = 68), and SMA infants who received the genetic therapies nusinersen and/or onasemnogene abeparvovec (n = 22).
