Cafe Med: Seminar 4: Spinal Muscular Atrophy - A treatable childhood motor neuron disease

10 years ago, Spinal Muscular Atrophy was the second most common inherited cause of infant mortality worldwide, but you may never have heard of it. Severely affected children had a life expectancy of less than 3 years, but now three novel and expensive therapies have emerged, which are providing new hope for families. We will discuss the advances which underpin these life extending and enhancing treatments
