Spinal Muscular Atrophy Treatment Breakthrough
Spinal muscular atrophy is a genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle decline (atrophy) and weakness. Stanford Health Care is the first medical center in the nation to treat an adult patient with spinal muscular atrophy. John W. Day, MD, PhD, and his team helped develop a disease-modifying drug that halts the progression of the condition and may help people regain the motor function they have lost.
