- Confirmation of no more than 3 SMN2 copies for cohort 1; no more than 4 copies for
cohort 2.

- Family history of affected sibling with SMA type I for cohort 1 and SMA type II for
cohort 2.

- Age = 3 months, cohort 1; Age = 6 months, cohort 2.

- Laboratory results demonstrating normal values for age.

Exclusion Criteria:

-Evidence of hepatic insufficiency, renal insufficiency, edema with sodium retention, known
seizure disorder, urea cycle disorder, cardiac arrhythmia, congenital heart defect,
hypertension, significant central nervous system (CNS) impairment, or neurodegenerative or
neuromuscular disease other than SMA.

- Serious illness requiring hospitalization = 14 days prior to study entry.

- Use of medications intended for the treatment of SMA including riluzole, valproic
acid, hydroxyurea, oral use of albuterol, NaPB, butyrate derivatives, creatine, growth
hormone, anabolic steroids, probenecid, oral or parenteral use of corticosteroids at
