Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the most common genetic cause of infant death and is the second most common inherited disorder, after cystic fibrosis. SMA causes progressive muscle wasting and weakness due to loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord. Patients with SMA are generally grouped into one of four types (I, II, III, IV) based on their highest level of motor function. The most common form, SMA type I, causes death by two years of age. About 1 in every 6,000 to 10,000 babies is born with SMA.
