South Carolina Congressman Signs on for the SMA Treatment Acceleration Act
The Palmetto Scoop, a political blog in South Carolina, is reporting that SC Congressman Joe Wilson has signed on as a sponsor of the SMA Treatment Acceleration Act. That brings the total number of sponsors in the House of Representatives to 16. The bill would provide federal support to complement the substantial private funding that national non-profit organizations are investing to find a treatment for SMA. Passage of this landmark legislation would enable investigators to mount national clinical trials to demonstrate that identified therapeutics are safe and effective for SMA patients.
