ANA Highlights: Extraneuronal Phenotypes of Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Part 1

In this 12-minute video, Dr. Basil Darras, Professor of Neurology at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, introduces the learner to spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), the number one genetic cause of death in infants. SMA is a genetic disorder characterized by degeneration and loss of motor neurons in the anterior horns of the spinal cord and brain stem of children and adults, with limited involvement of peripheral organs in severely affected patients. What are the extra-neuronal phenotypes of SMA in humans and animal models? Part 1 of 2.
