Autosomal Dominant Adult-onset Proximal Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Description

Spinal muscular atrophy is characterized by degeneration of the anterior horn cells in the spinal cord, leading to symmetric muscle weakness and wasting.See also autosomal recessive adult-onset proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA4 ), caused by defect in the SMN1 gene (OMIM ), and autosomal dominant childhood-onset proximal SMA (OMIM ).
