summary/abstract:Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe neuromuscular disease that is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner with an estimated incidence of 1 in 10,000 live births. The traditional classification of SMA includes five types (Types 0-4 SMA) based on patient age at disease onset and the highest motor milestone achieved. Spinal muscular atrophy leads to progressive muscle denervation, skeletal muscle atrophy and loss of motor function and ambulation, though phenotypes vary along a disease continuum. Regardless of disease severity, or access to treatment, a multidisciplinary approach to care is required to ease the burden of disease. To date, limited global data exist regarding the cost and resource use associated with SMA management.
