August is SMA Awareness Month, the theme of 2024 is “Breakthroughs Begin with You.” 

SMA(Spinal muscular atrophy) ranks as the most fatal genetic disease of children under 2 years old, is an inherited disease caused by the deficiency of a motor neuron protein called SMN and other rare forms of SMA that stem from chromosome mutations, which 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.
