Type 1 is when you don't have the SMN1 gene, and the SMN1 gene creates protein for the body, and the SMN2 creates protein, but not as much.

So we could have two or three copies of the SMN2, and it creates protein, but it's not enough, essentially, to keep you alive.

So SMN1 is like the primary gene, let's say.

He's missing that gene or it's faulty.

I don't know if they can ever tell exactly what it is.

You need that to create protein for your body.

So without protein, you can't have muscles.

Without muscles, the nerves die.

Okay.

Yeah, so like his... And the thing as well with SMA is like once you lose it, you don't get it back.

You know, that kind of way.

So...

Well, as in, like, if he loses a muscle, I mean, like, so if he loses a muscle, like, so he could be born, like, he could be okay, like, the way he was, but he was getting weaker.

And because he was getting weaker, you can't really build up that strength again, like, because there's not enough protein, essentially, to build it back up.

Yeah, so this was in CUH.

It wouldn't, they wouldn't be the...

Specialists.

Specialists are the experts on this by any means.

They knew what it was, obviously.

So they told us, look, it's SMN type 1.
