Aim To report the first case of spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1(SMARD1) in China and discuss the diagnosis strategy of SMARD1. Methods The history, physical examination, clinical exams and genetic analysis results of the patient with SMARD1 were retrospectively analyzed, and the related literatures were reviewed. Results At 1 month old, the patient had scaffold orthodontic treatment because of the hip dysplasia, then developed into muscle weakness, more evident in the distal parts and predominantly in the legs. At the age of 2 years old, she developed contractures of the knees and elbows. Respiratory failure happened at the age of 4 years and 10 months. Her blood tests and genetic analysis of SMN gene were not remarkable except for the slightly increased of creatine kinase and the aminotransferases. The EMG revealed neurogenic damages. Her chest X-ray reported eventration of the right diaphragm. IGHMBP2 gene sequencing identified homozygous mutation of c.1813 CT. The diagnosis of SMARD1 was conformed. Conclusion SMARD1 is one of the variation types of spinal muscular atrophy, which manifested as irreversible diaphragmatic paralysis, respiratory failure between 6 weeks and 6 months of age, as well as progressive symmetrical muscular weakness and muscle atrophy. Nowadays, genetic analysis is the principal method for diagnosis.
