What is Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic condition which affects the nerves that control muscle movement – the motor neurons.
It's continually progressive.
It is the largest genetic killer in babies under 2 years old. 

 

What can be done to help SMA?
Children born with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) have a grim prognosis: most infants rarely see it to their second birthday. This debilitating, genetic disease has no medication OR cure; however, a study in Science and Translational Medicine demonstrates a possible stem cell therapy.
