Max Englund had spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) which is a genetic disorder that starts in the central nervous system (CNS) and affects all the muscles in the body. Due to the degenerative nature of the disease, people with SMA will experience a decline in muscle strength over time, although the rate and severity can vary among individuals.
SMA is caused by a lack of spinal motor neuron (SMN) protein, a protein that’s key for muscle development and movement.
