Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Heterozygous BICD2 gene mutations cause a form of autosomal dominant spinal muscular atrophy with lower extremity predominance (SMALED). METHODS: We analyzed the BICD2 gene in a selected group of 25 index patients with neurogenic muscle atrophy. RESULTS: We identified 2 new BICD2 missense mutations, c.2515G>A, p.Gly839Arg, in a family with autosomal dominant inheritance, and c.2202G>T, p.Lys734Asn,...
