SMA Featured on CBS' The Early Show

CBS' The Early Show segment, In Your Genes, this morning featured a family affected by SMA.  The couple lost their second child, a daughter, to SMA when she was just three weeks old.  When they decided to try to have another child, they chose to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).

I have contacted our local CBS affiliate regarding our story.  My hope is that we can increase awareness of SMA and carrier testing as well.

Cross your fingers!
