✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Vitamin E levels were measured in the plasma of infants and children with various neuromuscular disorders. Seven of 8 infants with Werdnig‐Hoffmann disease (WHD) had a singificantly lower plasma vitmin E level (p < 0.01) than age‐matched normal controls, children with congenital myopathies, or children with muscular dystrophy. Vitamin E deficiency in WHD is not caused by malabsorption. A therapeutic trial of vtamin course of the disease. Vitamin E deficiency may play a role in the pathologenesis of WHD.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) or Werdnig-Hoffmann disease is the second most common neuromuscular disease, with 25% of cases presenting in infancy. Deletions in the survival motor neuron gene are believed responsible for autosomal-recessive SMA. SMA affects about 1 in 10,000 births. Symptomatic newb
