Son With SMA BICD2 Gene Mutation

My son was born with dislocated hips and deformed feet, its been a long road of appointments, tests etc. for diagnosis.

This week, his diagnosis of a very rare form of SMA has been confirmed through genome testing. We are not carriers as it is a mutation in genes "de novo" we are trying to find out more info and support from groups etc. as very limited knowledge on his particular SMA is known.
