Spinal Muscular Atrophy is caused by a mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene, leading to a deficiency in the survival motor neuron protein (SMN) which is critical for the normal functioning and survival of motor neurons.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the motor neurons in the spinal cord, resulting in muscle weakness and progressive loss of movement. It is caused by a mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene, leading to a deficiency in the survival motor neuron protein (SMN) which is critical for the normal functioning and survival of motor neurons. SMA is the cause of the most infantile deaths worldwide than any other genetic disorder.
