Autism spectrum disorder in children with spinal muscular atrophy type 1: Case series
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was identified in 37.5% of children with SMA (n = 13). While IQ did not differ significantly between groups, adaptive functioning was reduced in those with co‐occurring ASD. Results support routine early neurodevelopmental screening in children with spinal muscular atrophy.

Adult Survival in SMA Type 1: A 23‐Year Journey With Home Ventilation and Multidisciplinary Support
Diffuse brain atrophy and calvarial hyperostosis in a long‐term survivor of very early onset SMA type 1. ABSTRACT Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 1 is a severe autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by loss‐of‐function variants in the SMN1 gene, typically leading to death within the first two years without intervention. Long‐term survival
