In this article: Type 0 Type 1 Type 2 Type 3 Type 4 Other types Risk factors affecting prognosis Improving life expectancy FAQsSpinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic, progressive disease that affects the nervous system and muscles. The life expectancy for people with SMA depends on the ...
ChildrenMechanical ventilation - ventilator-associatedBackground: The prognosis of children with SMA type 1 disease has changed with gene therapy (Onasemnogene Abeparvovec). Invasive ventilation for no more than 16 hours is required for gene therapy through Managed Access Program.Objectives: Achieving...
What is the prognosis of SMA?The prognosis for SMA varies greatly depending on the disease type. Without treatment, patients with the severe types 0 and 1 don’t usually survive beyond infancy, while patients with type 2 disease often survive into adulthood. Life expectancy is usually unaffected...
As a result, SMA disease prognosis depends on how many copies of SMN2 are present. Two or fewer copies of SMN2 leads to earlier onset, more severe disease, while three or more copies provide enough function to result in a later-onset, milder form of SMA. “It...

Beyond funding for SMA, Team GSF has also raised much needed awareness of SMA, its shocking statistics, its brutal progression, and its dire prognosis. “To say we’re humbled by what the thirty inspiring Team GSF Santa Barbara Marathon runners have accomplished would be an enormous ...
Another study has shown that NAIP deletion is significantly related to the clinical severity of SMA and is a marker for prediction of SMA prognosis16. This finding has also been confirmed in our study, since all patients carrying deletion of two copies of NAIP gene had severe (type I) SMA...
Decisions based on erroneous assessments may result in incorrect patient and family expectations, and potentially suboptimal advice, treatment, and prognosis [11]. Despite these advances in the treatment landscape of SMA, there is limited information regarding preferences of pediatric neurologists that ...

In a study evaluating α-SMA gene expression in tumors from 263 patients with primary lung adenocarcinomas, the patients with high α-SMA expression presented with enhanced distant metastasis and poor prognosis [14]. Another study revealed that lung CAFs expressed more α-SMA and had greater ...
