Description : Distal spinal muscular atrophy (DSMA), also known as distal hereditary motor neuronopathy
(dHMN or HMN), is characterized by distal muscle weakness and wasting without significant
sensory involvement. For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic
heterogeneity of distal SMA, see HMN1 (182960). Harding (1993) classified autosomal
recessive distal hereditary motor neuronopathy as dHMN IV (HMN4) and dHMN III (HMN3).
Both have juvenile onset and differ only by less severe involvement in HMN3. However,
Viollet et al. (2004) reported an extended Lebanese kindred in which both HMN III
and HMN IV occurred, suggesting that the same gene was involved in both phenotypes
(see Irobi et al., 2006).;
