... When symptoms do appear, they progress very slowly and may not lead to significant loss of function.Genetic CauseMost cases of SMA are caused by a mutation in the SMN1 gene that instructs the body to create, or encode, the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. ...

... These children, who all had SMA type 1, also experienced better motor function as the biomarker levels dropped. However, among older children with multiple SMN2 copies and SMA types 2 or 3, sNfL levels stayed stable. Overall, the researchers found that sNfL could be used as a biomarker that signals the severity of a person’s SMA. ...
