Spinal muscular atrophy genetic epidemiology and the case for premarital genomic screening in Arab populations

2024-01-16

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a fatal autosomal recessive disorder for which several treatment options, including gene therapy, have become available. SMA incidence has not been well-characterized in most Arab countries where rates of consanguinity are high. Understanding SMA disease epidemiology has significant implications for screening, prevention, and treatment in tho...
