ion is not worse than their genetics dictate," Dreyfuss said.

He cautioned against putting forth folic acid and the B vitamins as a "cure" for the disease, noting that his team's findings are based on laboratory biochemical studies which point the way to animal and/or human studies that need to be done before any clinical or therapeutic implications are drawn. "Certainly, we hope clinical studies will be initiated to see whether folate and the B vitamins make a difference for SMA patients that extends beyond laboratory research," he said.
