Abstract
⺠We developed a score that predicts death in the SMNÎ7 mouse model of SMA. ⺠We showed that SMNÎ7 mice has increased tissue lactate and decrease in respiratory rate. ⺠The novel score correlates linearly with tissue lactate levels and respiratory rate. ⺠This work provides insight into the disease stage and a possible biomarker for SMA. ⺠This method has broad application to various neonatal animal models of neurological disorders.
