What is Spinal Muscular Atrophy?

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disorder that affects the motor neurons in the spinal cord and brainstem. It leads to muscle weakness and progressive loss of movement, impacting an individual’s ability to walk, eat, and breathe. SMA is a life-threatening condition that affects people of all ages, from infants to adults.
