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 ...

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.

Although infantile muscular atrophy has been recognized for about 70 years, a comprehensive description of its variable clinical course is generally wanting. The purpose of the present article is to call attention to the wide spectrum of its onset and severity and to correlate these features with the pathological changes.

Spinal muscular atrophies (SMA) are genetic disorders characterized by degeneration of lower motor neurons. The most frequent form is caused by mutations of the survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1). The identification of this gene greatly improved diagnostic testing and family-planning options of SMA families.

Childhood spinal muscular atrophy
2023Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by biallelic mutations in the SMN1 (survival motor neuron 1) gene on chromosome 5q13.2, which leads to a progressive degeneration of alpha motor neurons in the spinal cord and in motor nerve nuclei in the caudal brainstem.

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.

Neurogenic Muscular Atrophy Simulating Muscular Dystrophy
Archives of Neurology, 1960Degenerative lower motor neuron disease accompanied by weakness affecting predominantly the proximal muscles of the extremities, a syndrome closely simulating muscular dystrophy, is apparently very rare. Although there have been occasional instances in the neurologic literature where such cases have been mentioned, but without the inclusion of detailed

Proximal childhood spinal muscular atrophy is a common autosomal recessive disorder that results in degeneration of lower motor neurons of the spinal cord. The defective gene, survival of motor neuron, encodes a novel protein with a putative role in RNA metabolism.

The history of the spinal muscular atrophies (SMA) began in the 1890s with Guido Werdnig and Johann Hoffmann. Together, their papers present a rather complete picture of the clinical and pathologic aspects of infantile SMA: onset during the first year of life, occurrence in siblings with normal parents, progressive floppiness and weakness, hand tremor,

X-linked bulbar and spinal muscular atrophy was comprehensively described by William R. Kennedy, and later the syndrome carried his name. It was the first triplet-repeat disease to be discovered. Recent transgenic experiments have shed some light on the underlying pathogenesis.
