But the paper also said that based off the success of these two, the relative success of these two ASOs, that it suggested that these ASOs would be useful in the broader SCN2A community worldwide.

For those that had a compatible SNP, right? But I did not understand if that meant literally those two ASOs, or you're saying they would be tweaked, the same backbone would be used, and it was the...
