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.

Bone and Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Bone, 2015Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease, leading to progressive denervation atrophy in the involved skeletal muscles. Bone status has been poorly studied. We assessed bone metabolism, bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures in 30 children (age range 15-171 months) affected by SMA types 2 and 3.

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 ...

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 ...

Spinal Muscular Atrophy in the Neonate
Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing, 2004Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type I is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by loss of lower motor neurons in the spinal cord. This severe hereditary neurodegenerative disorder is an important cause of morbidity in the neonate and the leading hereditary cause of infant mortality.

CLASSIFICATION OF SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHIES
The Lancet, 1980Clinical heterogeneity within the spinal muscular atrophies (SMA) has long been a source of confusion for questions of prognosis and genetic counselling. Comprehensive clinical and genetic analyses of 240 consecutive index cases from two English centres (The English SMA Study) have enabled some nosological questions to be resolved.

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.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy: An Update
Fetal and Pediatric Pathology, 2011Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the most common childhood neurodegenerative disease. We report an infant with SMA type 1 and discuss the recent developments in SMA genetics, pathophysiology, and possible treatment options. Because SMA type 1 remains a fatal illness for which there is not yet a cure, the focus of patient care continues to be ...

Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy
2018Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is an adult-onset degenerative disorder of the neuromuscular system resulting in slowly progressive weakness and atrophy of the proximal limb and bulbar muscles. The disease is caused by the expansion of a CAG/glutamine tract in the amino-terminus of the androgen receptor.
