<unk>  (DSMA1), also known as spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress<unk> <unk>  (SMARD1) and hereditary motor neuropathy<unk>  6 (HMN6) — is a rare neuromuscular disorder involving death of motor neurons in the spinal cord which leads to a generalized progressive atrophy of body muscles.
The condition is caused by a genetic mutation in the IGHMBP2 gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. There is no known cure to DSMA1, and research of the disorder is still in early stages due to low incidence and high mortality rates.
