Update on Inherited Pediatric Motor Neuron Diseases: Clinical Features and Outcome.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Inherited pediatric motor neuron diseases (MNDs) are a group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons in the brain and the spinal cord. These diseases can manifest as early as infancy and originate from inherited pathogenic mutations in known genes.
