About SMA
SMA (spinal muscular atrophy) is a genetic disease that robs people of physical strength by affecting the motor nerve cells in the spinal cord, taking away the ability to walk, eat, or breathe. It is the number one genetic cause of death for infants. SMA is caused by a mutation in the survival motor neuron gene 1 (SMN1).
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) causes muscle weakness and progressive loss of movement. It is caused by deterioration in the nerve cells (motor neurons) connecting the brain and spinal cord to the body’s muscles. As the link between the nerves and muscles breaks down, the muscles used for activities such as crawling, walking, sitting up, moving the head and even swallowing, become progressively weaker and shrink (atrophy)

About us
Welcome to the CureSMA India Network
Cure SMA Foundation of India is a parent led community, initiated in January 2014 by a small group of parents of children suffering from Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a rare genetic degenerative, life threatening, crippling neuromuscular disease. Parents of SMA warriors and adult SMA patients joined hands to raise awareness about the disease, build infrastructure for better management of the disease, and advocate for broader access to available and approved treatments and clinical trials. In five years, the community evolved, became incorporated and grew
