The genetic heterogeneity of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)
Abstract:
The clinical picture of the spinal muscular atrophy varies greatly with respect to age of onset, speed of progression, severity and distribution of muscular atrophy, weakness and contractures, yet cases occurring within a family usually show concordant clinical features. Thus, genetic heterogeneity has to be assumed. This is supported by the various genetic transmission patterns (autosomal dominant, recessive, X-linked recessive) found by accurate pedigree analysis.

Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
