Preferred Label : Spinal muscular atrophy, late-onset, finkel type;
Symbol : SMAFK;
CISMeF acronym : SMAFK;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Finkel late-adult type sma; Spinal muscular atrophy, proximal, adult, autosomal dominant;
Description : Spinal muscular atrophy is characterized by degeneration of the anterior horn cells
in the spinal cord, leading to symmetric muscle weakness and wasting. See also autosomal
recessive adult-onset proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA4; 271150), caused by defect
in the SMN1 gene (600354), and autosomal dominant childhood-onset proximal SMA (158600).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein B
gene (VAPB, 605704.0001);
