Neuromuscular Diseases
An Introduction to Neuromuscular Diseases
Neuromuscular diseases, characterized by muscle weakness, encompass a broad range of conditions that impair the function of voluntary muscles e.g. amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS), myasthenia gravis and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The treatment landscape for neuromuscular diseases has seen numerous developments. Patients with SMA have had access to a range of new therapies including novel SMN-targeted treatments, antisense oligonucleotides and virus-mediated gene therapy.
