Today is #RareDisease Day, as a leading provider of molecular diagnostic solutions, Tianlong also aims at supporting the rare disease community to raise awareness and help drive change for all those living with a rare disease, as well as their families and carers.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), ranking as the most fatal genetic disease of children under 2 years old, is an inherited rare disease caused by a faulty or missing gene called SMN1 that leads to severe muscle weakness and often early death. Tianlong's Human Survival Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1) Gene Detection Kit is used for the screening of SMN1 gene carriers and the auxiliary diagnosis of SMN1 patients, which can effectively avoid birth defects, and assist healthcare professionals to give timely diagnosis of SMA in a child.

We want to make a change for rare disease patients and their families, and we will always be dedicated to making benefits for human life.
