Spinal muscular atrophy
There are many registries that have been set-up across the world that specifically collect data from patients with SMA.
Some of this data comprises of an internationally agreed core dataset which sets out the information that all national registries should collect in order for their data to be directly comparable in the TREAT-NMD Global Registry. The Global SMA Registry collects data from a number of national registries which relates to over 3,000 patients.
If you are a patient (or parent of a patient) with SMA and would like to register in a SMA Registry then you should do this via the registry in your country if one is available.
