Filter by:Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a mutation of exon 7, in 95% of cases, encoding the gene for the motor neuron survival protein called SMN1 (Survival Motor Neuron) located on chromosome 5q. Patients with an SMA-5q mutation suffer from progressive muscle deficiency and subsequent atrophy induced by degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord. Gene therapy is now available for the management of spinal muscular atrophy and nusinersen is the first approved treatment. Nusinersen has been granted marketing authorization in France since May 30, 2017. Nusinersen has a high level of medical service rendered (MSR) for types I, II, and III, but the improvement in medical service rendered (IMSR) is assessed as moderate for types I and II. For Type III, IMSR is not known.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a form of motor neuron disease, most commonly caused by a mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1) which results in a wide disease spectrum affecting children and adults. It is an autosomal recessive disorder and is therefore caused by inheritance of a mutated gene from each parent. All forms of SMA have an estimated combined incidence of 1 in 6,000 to 1 in 10,000 live births, with a carrier frequency of 1/40 to 1/60. The patient registry aims to facilitate a questionnaire-based research study in order to better characterise and understand the disease in the UK and in Ireland. Entry is via self-registration over a secure internet connection (https://www.sma-registry.org.uk/). Online, patients are asked to read an information sheet about the research project and then indicate their consent to demonstrate willingness to participate. Following online consent, subjects will be entered into the registry. This is an on-going database and all participants are invited to update their information on a biannual basis.
This study aims to refine the capability of Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) and Magnet Resonance Imaging (MRI) to characterise the molecular composition of muscle tissue non-invasively and to evaluate the therapeutic response in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) over time.
The primary objectives of the study are to obtain clinically meaningful data on survival and outcomes of all the patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) 5q types 1 through 4 (according to international classification), being followed in the reference centers of the disease in France between September 1, 2016 and August 31, 2024. The registry will collect retrospectively and prospectively the longitudinal data of the long-term follow-up for child and adult patients, under real life conditions of current medical practice, in order to document the clinical evolution of patients (survival, motor, respiratory, orthopedic and nutritional), the conditions of use of the treatments, the mortality rates of treated and untreated patients, the tolerance of the treatments, adverse events in order to better define their places in the therapeutic strategy.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disease that causes progressive muscle wasting and weakness due to loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord. This is a registered cohort of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type I，II and III in China. This study will provide further insights into the clinical course of SMA including overall survival, demographic characteristics, motor function, respiratory support, feeding and nutritional support, growth and development. The correlation of genotype and phenotype will be conducted.
This is a longitudinal, observational study of adult patients with genetically confirmed chromosome 5q SMA to examine the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of SPINRAZA® (nusinersen) for up to 30 months.
Our study is a randomized controlled study and the subjects included in the study will be divided into three groups as virtual reality training, biofeedback training, and conventional rehabilitation.
The SMA REACH UK Network is a national and international partnership between doctors and therapists involved in the care of children and adults with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. This network is supported by Biogen and SMA UK.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the natural history of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) types 2 and 3 patients in Taiwan. This study will provide further insights into the clinical course SMA. Several analyses will be conducted regarding overall survival, demographic characteristics, motor function, respiratory and nutritional support, and genotype and phenotype correlation.
Parents or legal guardian of neonates who signed agreement will receive SMA screening test if their neonates are affected with SMA. The dried blood spots of routine newborn screening samples will be used to test if neonates have lost 2 copies of SMN1 gene. If neonates have positive SMA screening test, further confirmation with multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) test and prospective motor function monitoring including physical and neurological examinations will be proved to make SMA confirmation. For any confirmed SMA patient, genetic counseling and standard of care will be proved.
