The Impact of Newborn Screening for Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Dr. Hugh McMillan, Pediatric Neurologist at McGill University Health Centre, has worked in a province that screens and one that didn’t until recently. “I used to see children who were born with SMA and had developed symptoms. By offering therapies, I could stop the progress of their disease and offer modest clinical benefit. But I was not able to offer them the same chance to sit, walk or run that they would have had the diagnosis taken place shortly after birth,” said Dr. McMillan. - Are you or someone you know living with a neuromuscular disorder?
