Clinical, Electromyographic, Histochemical, and Lipid Studies

David S. Dahl, MD; Henry A. Peters, MD

Arch Neurol. 1975;32(3):195-203.

Abstract
Twelve patients with juvenile- and adult-onset spinal muscular atrophy have been studied. Eleven of the twelve patients had either type II, type IV, or borderline abnormal phenotypes, suggesting a possible relationship between serum lipid abnormalities and neuronal degeneration in the spinal muscular atrophies.

Muscle enzyme histochemical studies provided valuable diagnostic information. Extensor toe signs and talipes cavus were common clinical observations.
