Novartis Webinar: Carrier screening and prenatal diagnosis of SMA in the post-treatment era - 26 August 2025

Recent advances have enabled earlier detection and improved clinical outcomes in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Obstetricians, midwives, and genetic counsellors play a critical role in supporting SMA carrier couples to make informed decisions in pregnancy.

This webinar is based on resources and support available in Australia, and will include:

  • Diagnosis pathways and timing of testing
  • Available treatments and clinical outcomes
  • Role of obstetricians, midwives, and genetic counsellors in prenatal testing
  • A case study to discuss the resources available to SMA carrier couples at key decision points of pregnancy
