Overview / Abstract: |
Most persons with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are born looking relatively healthy. However, depending on the type of SMA the person has, the speed of neuromuscular deterioration can vary greatly. Recognizing the early signs and symptoms for a quick diagnosis can dramatically reduce the risk of permanent, irreversible damage. |
