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 ).
