Newborn Screening for Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Early Diagnosis and Treatment
Newborn screening for spinal muscular atrophy allows for earlier diagnosis in preterm infants, leading to earlier use of disease-modifying therapies, in the presymptomatic stage, and better long-term prognosis.
Kids with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Rate Their Own Health
A new study analyzed health-related quality of life (HRQoL) using 5 generic and neuromuscular disease-specific rating scales in German children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), most of whom were receiving disease-modifying therapies.
Screening for Sleep Disordered Breathing in Children With Spinal Muscular Atrophy
In children with spinal muscular atrophy, oximetry had value in predicting abnormal polysomnography, but transcutaneous carbon dioxide (TcCO2) was not useful.
