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, 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.

Spinal muscular atrophies

2013
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.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy

European Journal of Paediatric Neurology, 2017
Spinal muscular atrophies (SMA) result in progressive degeneration of the anterior horn cells. Most patients present in infancy and childhood but later presentations are known. The condition is inexorably progressive and reduces quality and span of life. Survival motor neuron gene abnormalities are most common, but other genetic abnormalities have been

Spinal Muscular Atrophies

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 Muscular Atrophy

Continuum, 2020
This article provides an overview of the pathophysiology and clinical presentations of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and reviews therapeutic developments, including US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved gene-targeted therapies and mainstays of supportive SMA care.Over the past decades, an understanding of the role of SMN protein in the ...

Spinal Muscular Atrophy

2009
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.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Seminars in Neurology, 1998
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,

Spinal muscular atrophy

Current Opinion in Neurology, 1997
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.
