- Describe the natural history of the disease (5q SMA in patients in Latin America) in a real-life context. [ Time Frame: 24 months (Study duration time) ]Characterization and description the evolution of the patient's condition over the time of data collection from the registry, to describe the natural history of the disease in a real-life context.
- Disease characteristics at first diagnosis. [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Early signs and symptoms leading to clinical diagnosis of SMA
- Duration of disease. [ Time Frame: 24 months (Study duration time) ]Time interval between the age of appearance of the first signs and symptoms to the current age
- Time from SMA symptom onset until genetic diagnosis. [ Time Frame: Baseline ]To verify heterogeneity of access resources to genetic diagnosis.
- Motor milestones over time. [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Motor functions (unable to sit, sitting without support, walking with support; standing without Support; walking independently) will be evaluated over time.
- Expanded Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale-Expanded (HFMSE) scores range from 0 to 66,
- Revised Upper Limb Module [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Revised Upper Limb Module (RULM) scores range from 0 to 37, with higher scores indicating better function.
- Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders Scale (CHOP-INTEND) [ Time Frame: 24 months ]CHOP-INTEND (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders) scores range from 0 to 64 with higher scores indicating better function.
- Gain and loss of motor function [ Time Frame: 24 months (Study duration time) ]Analyze throughout the study "Shift up (gained motor function)", "No change" and "Shift down" (loss of motor function) over time, in the different types of 5qSMA with and without disease-modifying treatment.
- History of hospitalizations [ Time Frame: 24 months (Study duration time) ]Records of need for hospitalizations
- History and characterization of previous surgical procedures and need for surgery [ Time Frame: 24 months (Study duration time) ]History of comorbidities
- Utilization of DMTs - Disease Modifying Treatments [ Time Frame: 24 months (Study duration time) ]History of use or non-use of DMTs
- Use of Medications [ Time Frame: 24 months (Study duration time) ]Analysis of the history of drugs used in the clinical routine of patients
- Pulmonary Function [ Time Frame: 24 months (Study duration time) ]Frequency and length of time of ventilatory support use
