Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in SMN1 (encoding survival motor neuron protein (SMN)). Reduced expression of SMN leads to loss of α-motor neurons, severe muscle weakness and often early death. Standard-of-care recommendations for multidisciplinary supportive care of SMA were established in the past few

Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 2002
Spinal muscular atrophies (SMA) are characterized by degeneration of lower motor neurons associated with muscle paralysis and atrophy. Childhood SMA is a common recessive autosomal disorder and represents one of the most common genetic causes of death in childhood. The pathophysiology remains unknown, and no curative treatment is available so far.

Autosomal-recessive proximal spinal muscular atrophy (Werdnig-Hoffmann, Kugelberg-Welander) is caused by mutation of the SMN1 gene, and the clinical severity correlates with the number of copies of a nearly identical gene, SMN2. The SMN protein plays a critical role in spliceosome assembly and may have other cellular functions, such as mRNA transport ...

Spinal muscular atrophies (SMA) are frequent autosomal recessive disorders characterized by degeneration of lower motor neurons. SMA are caused by mutations of the survival of motor neuron gene (SMN1) leading to a reduction of the SMN protein amount.

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2015
Spinal muscular atrophies (SMAs) are hereditary degenerative disorders of lower motor neurons associated with progressive muscle weakness and atrophy. Proximal 5q SMA is caused by decreased levels of the survival of motor neuron (SMN) protein and is the most common genetic cause of infant mortality.

Spinal Surgery in Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1985Fifteen patients with surgical treatment of spinal muscular atrophy were reviewed. The curve pattern was thoracic in 3, thoracolumbar in 11, and double thoracic and thoracolumbar in 1. Follow-up averaged 31 months. Eleven patients underwent posterior spinal fusion with Harrington instrumentation, with segmental wiring in four, and two had Luque ...

The genetics of spinal muscular atrophies
Current Opinion in Neurology, 2010This article reviews clinical, genetic, and therapeutic advances in spinal muscular atrophies (SMAs), inherited disorders characterized by motor neuron loss and muscle weakness.There has been progress in defining the clinical and genetic features of at least 16 distinct forms of SMA.

Hypogkycaemia in spinal muscular atrophy
The Lancet, 1995Repeated episodes of hypoglycaemia were observed in two girls with spinal muscular atrophy. During a 12 h fast blood glucose fell to 3.4 and 2.7 mmol/L, respectively. One girl developed hypoglycaemia and ketonuria. Reduced gluconeogenesis was probably the cause of hypoglycaemia in these patients who had a muscle mass of about 10% of bodyweight (normal ...

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 1999
AbstractSpinal muscular atrophy is a common cause of disability in childhood and is characterized by weakness and wasting of voluntary muscle. It is frequently fatal. The gene for this disorder has been identified as the SMN gene and is part of a highly complex duplicated region of chromosome 5 that is subject to a high rate of gene deletion and gene ...
