    • Close Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)

      My name is Jan, gramma to Gavin born 5/1/06, passed away 10/3/06 due to complications from SMA

    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Child

      My name is Jan, gramma to Gavin born 5/1/06 passed away on 10/3/06 from complications of SMA. SMA is spinal muscular atropy, it is a gentic disorder with no cure. both parents have to be a carrier for the mutant gene and then there is a 25% chance that the mutant gene will be passed to the child. the mutant gene effects the body's ability to produce the protein in the spinal fluid necessary for muscle growth. I lost my Dad in April of 2002 also.
