Serious side effects may include liver problems, low platelets, and heart damage. Onasemnogene abeparvovec works by providing a new copy of the gene that makes the human SMN protein.Onasemnogene abeparvovec was developed by AveXis, which was acquired by Novartis, based on the work of Martine Barkats from the Institut de Myologie in France.
