615290 | OMIM | Spinal muscular atrophy, lower extremity-predominant 2A, childhood onset, autosomal dominant (SMALED2A) | An autosomal dominant form of spinal muscular atrophy characterized by early-childhood onset of muscle weakness and atrophy predominantly affecting the proximal and distal muscles of the lower extremity, although some patients may show upper extremity involvement. The disorder results in delayed walking, waddling gait, difficulty walking, and loss of distal reflexes. Some patients may have foot deformities or hyperlordosis, and some show mild upper motor signs, such as spasticity. Sensation, bulbar function, and cognitive function are preserved. The disorder shows very slow progression throughout life. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
618291 | OMIM | Spinal muscular atrophy, lower extremity-predominant, 2B, prenatal onset, autosomal dominant (SMALED2B) | An autosomal dominant neuromuscular disorder characterized by decreased fetal movements, fractures in utero, severe congenital joint contractures, arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, severe hypotonia, muscle atrophy, and respiratory insufficiency and failure due to muscle weakness. Some patients may have dysmorphic facial features and/or abnormalities on brain imaging. Death in early childhood may occur. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
