Caused by mutation of the SMN gene
Caused by mutation of the UBE1 gene on X Chromosome
Infantile X-Linked SMA is similar to but distinguishable from Werdnig Hoffmann disease, manifested at or before birth in boys. Boys who inherit the gene usually die before age 2. Girls who inherit the gene are carriers, but are otherwise unaffected.
