Spinal muscular atrophy

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2022
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

Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Continuum, 2023
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the diagnostic assessment and treatment of individuals with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) due to homozygous deletions of SMN1 .In recent years, most states have incorporated SMA in their newborn screening panel.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 2021
Spinal muscular atrophy is one of the most common neuromuscular disorders of childhood and has high morbidity and mortality. Three different disease-modifying treatments were introduced in the last 4 years: nusinersen, onasemnogene abeparvovec, and risdiplam.

Spinal muscular atrophy

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.

Progressive Muscular Atrophy

Neurologic Clinics, 2015
Progressive muscular atrophy (PMA) is a rare, sporadic, adult-onset motor neuron disease, clinically characterized by isolated lower motor neuron features; however, clinically evident upper motor neuron signs may emerge in some patients. Subclinical upper motor neuron involvement is identified pathologically, radiologically, and neurophysiologically in
