There is variation in disease severity even with the same mutation; some pups die near birth, while in others, the disease slowly progresses over months to years. Affected pups are weak at birth and may die before a diagnosis is made. Stilted gait, trismus, muscle atrophy, stunted ...
Oculopharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy A muscular dystrophy is a progressive form of muscle wasting and atrophy of the muscle cells. Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) and myotonic dystrophy are examples of muscular dystrophies affecting the eye and periocular muscles. OPMD is a familial condition in...
The diagnosis was verified by electromyography (Kugelberg,121949) and muscle biopsy.This type of hereditary juvenile spinal muscular atrophy constitutes a distinct disease entity but seems to be little known, since it is generally mistaken for muscular dystrophy. Ford8(1952) and others have reported ...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a devastating neuromuscular disease caused by hypomorphic loss of function in the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. SMA presents across a broad spectrum of disease severity. Unfortunately, genetic models of intermediate SMA have been difficult to generate in vertebr...
Progressive muscular atrophy While SMA is a hereditary disease of childhood, PMA is an adult-onset disorder that is generally sporadic. Important controversies focus on the very concept of this condition. In theory, PMA is a disease of the LMNs, diagnosed clinically and proven at postmortem ex...
