Patient of the Month: Gianna
After noticing that her daughter was unable to crawl, stand, or do the things her friend’s children were doing at six months of age, Idalmis decided that it was time to seek help. Sure enough, after some consultations and genetic testing, Idalmis’ gut feeling was right.
Her baby girl, Gianna, was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy type 2 (SMA2), a genetic neuromuscular disorder that affects the nerve cells that control voluntary muscles (motor neurons). Without treatment, progressive muscle weakness develops in babies with SMA2 between ages 6 and 12 months.
