Spinal Muscular Atrophy to be featured on FOX television series “House”
Spinal Muscular Atrophy will be in the spotlight in an upcoming episode of the FOX program House. The show that will air on Tuesday, October 9 will feature an adult character with Type 3 SMA.
One of the writers for House has a seven-year-old son with Type 2 SMA, and is very active in the Southern California chapter of Families of SMA. Families of SMA, Fight SMA, and the SMA Foundation, are working together for passage of the SMA Treatment Acceleration Act. The bill has been introduced in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. If signed into law, it would create a national clinical trials network for SMA.
This is a wonderful opportunity for viewers to learn more about a disease many know little or nothing about. Check your local listings, and be sure to tune in!
