Spinal muscular atrophy is a disorder that takes away the ability to walk, eat, or breathe. The major causes of this disorder are caused by a mutation in the survival motor cell neuron gene. The symptoms of this disorder are having breathing difficulties, leading to a lack of oxygen. Also if you have a poor muscle tone like a floppy infant.
You cannot cure or treat this disorder. Nothing else contributes to this disease, and they have not found anything for it. Basically if you have Spinal muscular atrophy a normal day for you is not having the ability to walk, eat, or breathe. You would have an oxygen tank, and would be in a walker/ wheelchair. You would also have a self-feeding tube / tank. My disorder is inherited by two altered (mutated)
