style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> refers to advanced medical treatment that uses genetic material to treat or modify certain genetic disorders. The genetic material can be used to replace or add a faulty gene, restore production of an important protein or change the way cells work, depending on the specific therapy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gene therapy is not a standard procedure but depends on the genetic disorder and therapy chosen. There are different approaches and eligibility specifications for gene therapy treatments for SMA and DMD. Your specialist must then verify the genetic diagnosis, check the relevant test results, and evaluate your health to make sure that a specific gene therapy treatment in Dubai is suitable for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_It_Work\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Does It Work?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our experts first verify the genetic condition and determine if you qualify for the chosen gene therapy. The treatment then delivers genetic material into specific cells to help replace, supplement or modify the genetic function affected by the disorder. It can be administered via an IV infusion or intrathecal injection, depending on the therapy. You will then be carefully medically monitored to check your response to the treatment and any potential side effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Spinal_Muscular_Atrophy_SMA\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness. Most common forms of SMA result from changes affecting both copies of the SMN1 gene, which leads to insufficient production of survival motor neuron protein.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This protein helps motor neurons remain healthy. When motor neurons are damaged or lost, the muscles they control become weak.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SMA can begin during infancy, childhood or adulthood. The severity varies between individuals and earlier onset forms generally cause more severe weakness. Symptoms can include weak or floppy arms and legs, difficulty sitting, crawling or walking, breathing problems, swallowing difficulties and muscle twitching.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of SMN2 gene copies can also influence the severity of SMA although it does not determine the course of disease on its own.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Causes_Spinal_Muscular_Atrophy\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Causes Spinal Muscular Atrophy?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most common forms of SMA occur when a child inherits an altered copy of the SMN1 gene from both parents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parents who carry one altered SMN1 copy usually do not have SMA themselves. When both parents carry the relevant genetic change, each pregnancy has a 25% chance of resulting in a child with SMA, a 50% chance of producing a carrier and a 25% chance of producing a child who does not inherit the altered copies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Genetic testing can confirm SMA and help specialists determine whether a patient may qualify for a specific SMA gene therapy.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Beacon_for_Gene_Therapy_in_the_Gulf\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Beacon for Gene Therapy in the Gulf:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dubai is becoming a regional destination for advanced gene therapy for selected rare and neuromuscular conditions such as SMA and DMD, giving eligible patients access to specialized genetic medicine within the Gulf.

When dystrophin is absent or severely reduced, muscles become progressively weaker and damaged. DMD is an X-linked genetic disorder, meaning the genetic change occurs on the X chromosome and it mainly affects boys although females can develop symptoms in some cases.
