Description : X-linked infantile spinal muscular atrophy (XL-SMA) is characterized by neonatal onset of severe hypotonia, areflexia, and multiple congenital contractures, known as arthrogryposis, associated with loss of anterior horn cells and infantile death (summary by Ramser et al., 2008). Historically, Hall et al. (1982) distinguished at least 3 clinical varieties of X-linked arthrogryposis. (1) One family had a severe lethal form with severe contractures, scoliosis, chest deformities, hypotonia, micrognathia, and death from respiratory insufficiency by age 3 months. Apparently progressive loss of anterior horn cells was the cause. (2) Two families had moderately severe AMC associated with ptosis, microphallus, cryptorchidism, inguinal hernias, and normal intelligence. Nonprogressive intrauterine myopathy appeared to be the 'cause'. (3) In 2 families and a sporadic case, the disorder took the form of a resolving AMC, with mild to moderate contractures improving dramatically with time, normal intelligence, and no other anomalies; tight connective tissues on misplaced tendons was postulated.;

Inheritance : X-linked recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme 1 gene (UBA1, 314370.0001);

Prefixed ID : #301830;
