This is a major step forward for babies and families.
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) can progress quickly, and identifying it before symptoms appear means babies can get specialist treatment when it can make the biggest difference.
We're expanding testing for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) across England.
From October, SMA checks will start being added to the heel-prick test for newborns.
This is part of an evaluation gathering evidence for a permanent national screening programme.
