Definitions

• Proximal spinal muscular atrophy is an inherited, clinically heterogeneous group of neuromuscular disorders characterized by degeneration of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord. Patients suffer from symmetrical weakness of trunk and limb muscles, the legs being more affected than the arms and the proximal muscles weaker than the distal ones; diaphragm, facial and ocular muscles are spared.
• SMA spinal muscular atrophy
• Type I (Werdnig-Hoffmann disease) is the most acute and severe form, with onset before six months and death usually before two years; children are never able to sit without support. Symptoms of the disease can be present in utero, as reduction of fetal movements; at birth; or more often, within the first four months of life. Affected children are particularly floppy, experience feeding difficulties and diaphragmatic breathing, and are characterized by a general weakness in the intercostals and accessory respiratory muscles. Affected children never sit or stand and usually die before the age of 2; death is generally due to respiratory insufficiency.
• Type II intermediate, chronic form
• muscular fasciculations are common, and tendon reflexes progressively reduce.
• Children are unable to stand or walk without aid.
• Feeding and swallowing problems are not usually present in Type II SMA, although in some patients a feeding tube may become necessary.
• Most patients generally develop a progressive muscular scoliosis which can require surgical correction.
• clearing of tracheal secretions and coughing might become difficult because of poor bulbar function and weak intercostal muscles.
• These patients have profound hypotonia, symmetrical flaccid paralysis, and no control of head movement.
• Type III Kergelberg-Welander disease, or Juvenile Spinal Muscular Atrophy
• motor milestones achievement is normal, and deambulation can be preserved until variable ages.
• These patients often develop scoliosis, and symptoms of joint overuse, generally caused by weakness, are frequently seen. Life expectancy is almost normal but quality of life is markedly compromised.
• Types I, II and III progress over time, accompanied by deterioration of the patient's condition.
• Type IV SMA is characterized by weakness in the second or third decade of life, with mild motor impairment not accompanied by respiratory or nutritional problems.
• Adult SMA is characterized by insidious onset and very slow progression. The bulbar muscles are rarely affected in Type IV. It is not clear that Type IV SMA is etiologically related to the Type I-III forms.
• spinal muscular atrophy examples include X-linked disease, spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress (SMARD), spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (Kennedy's disease, or Bulbo-Spinal Muscular Atrophy), and distal spinal muscular atrophy.
• SMARD spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress
• Kennedy's disease spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy
• Bulbo-Spinal Muscular Atrophy spinal muscular atrophy
• SMA is due to mutations in the Survival of Motor Neuron (SMN) gene, which exists in two forms in humans (SMN1 and SMN2). Loss of SMN is deleterious to motor neurons and results in neuromuscular insufficiency, a hallmark of the disease. From a genetic point of view, SMA is an autosomal recessive condition, caused by disruption of SMN1 gene, located in 5q13 (Lefebvre S., et al. (1995) Cell 80: 155-165). More than 98% of patients with spinal muscular atrophy have a homozygous disruption of SMN1 by deletion, rearrangement, or mutation. All these patients, however, retain at least one copy of SMN2.
• the mRNA transcribed from the SMN1 gene is generally a full-length mRNA with only a small fraction of its transcripts spliced to remove exon 3, 5, or 7 (Gennarelli et al. (1995) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 213:342-348; Jong et al. (2000) J. Neurol. Sci. 173:147-153). All SMA subjects have at least one, and generally two to four copies of the SMN2 gene, which encodes the same protein as SMN1; however, the SMN2 gene produces only low levels of full-length SMN protein.
• the SMN ⁇ 7 protein is non-functional and thought to be rapidly degraded. About 10% of SMN2 pre-mRNA is properly spliced and subsequently translated into full length SMN protein (FL-SMN), and the rest being the SMN ⁇ 7 copy.
• FL-SMN full length SMN protein
• the efficiency of SMN2 splicing might be dependent on severity of disease, and production of a full length transcript of SMN2 could range from 10% to 50%.
• presence or absence of the SMN1 gene roughly 90% of which becomes the FL-SMN gene product and protein, influences the severity of SMA by whether or not it can compensate for the truncated SMN ⁇ 7 copies.
• a low level of SMN protein allows embryonic development, but is not sufficient to sustain the survival of motor neurons of the spinal cord.
• a subclass of neurogenic-type arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (congenital AMC) has separately been reported to involve SMN1 gene deletion, suggesting that some degree of pathology in those afflicted is likely due to low levels of motor neuron SMN.
• Congenital AMC affects humans and animals, e.g., horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, dogs, and cats.
