Spinal Muscular Atrophy with Respiratory Distress (SMARD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by neurogenic muscular atrophy due to progressive anterior horn cell degeneration and early life-threatening respiratory failure ascribed to diaphragmatic dysfunction. SMARD is clinically and genetically heterogeneous. SMARD type 1 is characterized by onset of respiratory failure within the first weeks of life and has been ascribed to mutations in the immunoglobulin mu-binding protein 2 (IGHMBP2) gene on chromosome 11q13-q21. We report here the identification of nine novel IGHMBP2 mutations in five SMARD1 patients, including seven missense [ c.587A>G (p.Gln196Arg), c.647C>T (p.Pro216Leu), c.752T>C (p.Leu251Pro), c.1693G>A (p.Asp565Asn), c.1730T>C (p.Leu577Pro), c.1807C>T (p.Arg603Cys), c.1909C>T (p.Arg637Cys)] and two nonsense mutations [ c.1488C>A (p.Cys496X), c.2368C>T (p.Arg790X)]. Interestingly, 7 of 9 mutations occurred at highly conserved residues of the putative DNA helicase domain. The identification of novel IGHMBP2 variants will hopefully help diagnosing SMARD1 and contribute to a better functional characterization of IGHMBP2 gene product.

D014897 Spinal Muscular Atrophies of Childhood A group of recessive inherited diseases that feature progressive muscular atrophy and hypotonia. They are classified as type I (Werdnig-Hoffman disease), type II (intermediate form), and type III (Kugelberg-Welander disease). Type I is fatal in infancy, type II has a late infantile onset and is associated with survival into the second or third decade. Type III has its onset in childhood, and is slowly progressive.
