The Alterations of Gut Microbiome and Lipid Metabolism in Patients with Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Abstract

The gut microbiome and lipid metabolites differed between the patients with SMA and the control subjects. The altered microbiota may be related with the lipid metabolic disorders in SMA. However, further study is necessary to clarify the mechanism of lipid metabolic disorders and develop management strategies to improve the related complications in SMA.
