What is SMA? |
Do all people with SMA have the same symptoms?No. As described in the previous section some individuals have milder or more severe symptoms than others. It is not always possible to tell from a prenatal test how mild or severe a child's symptoms will be. In general, people with SMA have a severely shortened life span, many die in childhood others live into their 30's or longer. Although there is no cure or treatment for SMA, research on effective treatments and cure are underway.
