Inhaltsangabe

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2 (also known as "spinal muscular atrophy type II") is an autosomal recessive disease and is a form of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Children with spinal muscular atrophy type 2 manifest less severe weakness than children with Werdnig-Hoffman disease. Symptoms are usually noticed later in life, usually between the age of 6 to 18 months. The clinical features are similar to those found in children with Type 1; in fact, there are many children for whom the characterization of Type 1 (Werdnig-Hoffman) or Type 2 SMA becomes a "best guess". Children with Type 2 SMA usually achieve the ability to sit independently, however, they almost never achieve the ability to walk or stand without support.
