Brief Summary:
Medico-economic study of Newborn screening of Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Spinal Muscular Atrophy Diagnostic Test: test for SMN1 exon 7 deletion

Detailed Description:
The aim of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility and the medico-economic impact of a spinal muscular atrophy neonatal screening in a European country. We propose a 3-year-neonatal screening program in Southern Belgium (Wallonia-Brussels Federation) where there is 59.000 newborns/year, among whom 6 are affected by spinal muscular atrophy.
