A year ago, little Elizaveta was diagnosed with SMA. This is a disease when the muscles gradually break down, get atrophied. A child begins to lose the motor skills already acquired, and slowly, one after another, the body functions begin to fail. There is a way to stop this disease: an injection of the drug Zolgensma. It delivers to a body a working copy of the broken gene. This injection has to be done once in a lifetime, but it is necessary to do this until the child reaches the weight of 21 kg. The cost of this injection is huge: EUR 1,650,500.
