Comorbidities in spinal muscular atrophy and their impact on the course of the underlying disease: a real-life observational study
Scoliosis is a major factor that has an influence on the clinical course of SMA and on patients' overall condition. Other comorbidities are similar in all types of SMA. Comorbidities are more frequent and have a greater impact on the general condition in patients with more severe disabilities. The current difference between the sexes is the higher incidence of lithiasis and overweight in men.
