Panelists discuss how spinal muscular atrophy is an autosomal recessive genetic disease affecting motor neurons with 3 currently approved disease-modifying therapies that restore SMN protein ...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder set in motion before birth. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital led the first in utero treatment of SMA with ...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic neuromuscular disease affecting specialized nerve cells that control voluntary muscle movement, according to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). It can ...

Spinal muscular atrophy is a rare inherited neuromuscular disorder caused by changes in the SMN1 gene. It leads to progressive muscle weakness by affecting the nerve cells that control voluntary ...

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers carrying out a small pilot clinical trial demonstrating that a drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive ...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease characterised by the loss of alpha motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord, leading to progressive muscle ...

As August marks SMA Awareness Month, Cure SMA is drawing attention to its 2025 State of SMA report, an annual data resource that tracks the changing landscape of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) for the ...

A recent Harvard study introduces a new method for treating spinal muscular atrophy. The study used "base editing" to target the disease's root cause by modifying the survival motor neuron gene. For ...

Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy (SBMA) is a rare inherited disease that causes progressive muscle weakness and wasting in men. Patients typically develop early symptoms such as hand tremors in ...

A new clinical trial has revealed encouraging results for a muscle-targeting therapy aimed at improving motor function in children and adolescents with spinal muscular atrophy, according to a study ...
