Welcome

This site is dedicated entirely to scientific research on Spinal Muscular Atrophy, also known as SMA (acronym for Spinal Muscular Atrophy), a serious genetic disease against which so far there is no treatment.
But the world studies and, as the research progresses, there is increasing recognition that we are now close to a cure. The countdown has begun and soon will be the day when the dream will become reality!
