Abstract
Patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) often show abnormalities in weight and height, which may be caused by bulbar dysfunction due to muscle weakness and complications of prolonged immobility; however, data on weight and height distribution in SMA is limited. This study evaluated the distribution of weight and height in US children and adolescents with infantile (Type 1) and later-onset SMA (Type 2/3) compared to reference values from healthy individuals (i.e. 50th percentiles from World Health Organization/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention charts).
