Early onset facioscapulohumeral dystrophy - a systematic review using individual patient data [PDF]
Infantile or early onset is estimated to occur in around 10% of all facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) patients. Although small series of early onset FSHD patients have been reported, comprehensive data on the clinical phenotype is missing.

Motor nerve conduction velocity in spinal muscular atrophy of childhood. [PDF]
The ulnar and posterior tibial conduction velocities were measured in 29 children with spinal muscular atrophy, 14 of whom had the servere form of the disease. The ulnar nerve velocity was slow in 12 of the 14 severely affected infants, but normal or fast in 11 of 14 children less severely affected.

Spontaneous breathing pattern as respiratory functional outcome in children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) [PDF]
Introduction: SMA is characterised by progressive motor and respiratory muscle weakness. We aimed to verify if in SMA children 1)each form is characterized by specific ventilatory and thoracoabdominal pattern(VTAp) during quiet breathing(QB); 2)VTAp is ...

Self-oligomerization regulates stability of survival motor neuron protein isoforms by sequestering an SCFSlmb degron [PDF]
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by homozygous mutations in human SMN1. Expression of a duplicate gene (SMN2) primarily results in skipping of exon 7 and production of an unstable protein isoform, SMNΔ7.
