Abstract excerpt
The spinal muscular atrophies (SMA) affect lower motor neurons leading to important muscle atrophy and paralysis. Some cases of SMA affect mostly the lower limbs and are called autosomal dominant spinal muscular atrophy, lower extremity predominant (SMALED). So far, two genes have been identified to cause this phenotype, DYNC1H1 (SMALED1) and BICD2 (SMALED2). This pathology is rare, but patients exhibit classical...
