What are the main symptoms of SMA?
There are three main symptoms of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA): poor muscle tone, breathing difficulties and curvature of the spine. The severity of these symptoms will depend upon the type of SMA the patient has: Type 1 presenting the most severe symptoms and Type 4 the least severe. Typically, Type 1 SMA is diagnosed in infants.
