Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) refers to a group of inherited diseases that affects the functioning of muscles because of deterioration. It typically results in weakness, and may even lead to death. SMA affects motor neurons present in the brain and spinal cord. These motor neurons are responsible for the transfer of electric and chemical signals to and from voluntary muscles in the body, enabling various physical activities such as walking, crawling, swallowing, and others.
SMA is caused due to genetic disorders (mutation or deletion). SMA can be characterized into type I, type II, type III, and type IV depending upon differences in cause and symptoms observed. The treatment of SMA involves gene replacement surgery or therapy; in addition, drugs may be administered to increase levels of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. The SMA treatment market is growing at a significant rate due to the increasing prevalence of spinal muscular atrophy and rising awareness about diagnostics and treatment of SMA.
