Really nice to see @NEJM publishing N=1 studies! Such designs are the best-kept secret in clinical research. When used as single-case *experimental* designs, they allow for tests of causal effects (with minimal resources).
Authors describe how molecular diagnosis of a rare, fatal neurodegenerative condition led to the rational design, testing, and manufacture of milasen, a splice-modulating antisense oligonucleotide drug tailored to a particular patient.
