    Extractions: Devon Stants Introduction Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a hereditary disease characterized by wasting of the skeletal muscles caused by progressive degeneration of the anterior horn cells found in the spinal cord. It is the second most common childhood neuromuscular disorder and is caused by a deletion or mutation on chromosome 5q. Muscle atrophy and weakness occur in the voluntary muscles that are used for walking, crawling, head and neck control, and swallowing. SMA is an autosomal recessive disorder, which means that both parents must be carriers of the defective gene and both parents much each pass the SMA gene to the child (receiving one defective gene will not cause SMA). The likelihood of parents passing the gene on to their offspring and having an affected child is 25%, or a 1 in 4 chance. One in 40 people are carriers of SMA and the occurrence rate is estimated to be 1 in every 6,000 to 10,000 live births (with some forms more common than others). The first substantive descriptions of SMA occurred at the end of the 19 th century when Drs. Werdnig and Hoffman characterized the features of autosomal recessive SMA. Later, in 1950, Dr. Brandt reported 112 cases of progressive SMA and noted that an EMG and a muscle biopsy were useful in establishing a diagnosis. Then, in 1965, Drs. Kugelberg and Welander reported several patients with a later onset of SMA and a more prolonged course. Finally, in 1973, Dr. Pearn published a series of papers that were considered the most important documentation of the clinical, epidemiologic, and genetic

    Extractions: The SMA gene maps to 5q11.2-q13.3 and all three types of autosomal recessive childhood onset proximal spinal muscular atrophy have been localised to this region. Prenatal diagnosis of SMA has depended up until now on the use of linked markers in this region. Three candidate genes have recently been reported in this region and homozygous deletions of all three have been found in SMA patients. The survival motor neuron gene (SMN) is present in at least two copies, SMN (telomeric: SMNT) and a highly homologous copy, cBCD541 (centromeric, pseudogene). Single base differences in exons 7 and 8 allow these two genes to be differentiated on SSCP gels (Lefebvre et al , 1995) and by restriction enzyme digestion (van der Steege etal, 1995). Exons 7 and 8 or exon 7 alone of SMN have been found to be deleted in 90-98% of cases of SMA (one report found approx. 82% of type III SMA deleted for SMN, Hahnen et al ,1995)) but there is no correlation between disease severity and phenotype (Rodrigues et al , 1995).

    Extractions: What is spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)? Spinal muscular atrophy is a degenerative problem that affects the spinal cord and nerves, resulting in muscle wasting and weakness. Childhood onset occurs in one in 10,000 live births. The adult onset form occurs in one in 100,000 people. What causes spinal muscular atrophy? SMA is an autosomal recessive disease. This means that both males and females are equally affected, and that two copies of the gene, one inherited from each parent, are necessary to have the condition. A gene called survival motor neuron (or SMN) is found to have an abnormal area (called a deletion) in over 95 percent of cases of SMA. Symptomatic individuals of all ages can be tested through DNA studies typically done from a blood sample. When both parents are carriers, there is a one in four, or 25 percent, chance, with each pregnancy, to have a child with SMA. Carrier testing for the general population is technically difficult and usually available only if a previously affected child in the family has been studied.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy is the second most common form of Muscular Dystrophy. Awareness of this disease remains limited, despite the fact that one in 6,000 are born yearly with SMA. Spinal Muscular Atrophy affects the voluntary muscles due to a deficiency in the anterior horn cells which are located in the spinal cord. Motor activities along with swallowing and breathing may be affected. Individuals diagnosed with SMA have normal senses and feelings. It is further noted, that SMA does not impair intellect and social abilities. As in many diseases, SMA can range from mild to severe, and several forms exist.
