summary/abstract:

Given the novelty of gene replacement therapy with onasemnogene abeparvovec in spinal muscular atrophy, efficacy and safety data are limited, especially for children older than 24 months, those weighing more than 8·5 kg, and those who have received nusinersen. We aimed to provide real-world data on motor function and safety after gene replacement therapy in different patient subgroups.
