What is SMA?
Spinal muscular atrophy
(SMA) is a genetic disease of the anterior horn cell with a frequency of 8
per 100,000 live births with high mortality during infancy. There is no
known treatment for SMA. Until recently, no therapeutic trials have been

is an organization of 5 pediatric medical centers and the Academic Computer
Services at UT Southwestern formed in order to perform clinical trials in
children with SMA. Click for more...
