A case of congenital spinal muscular atrophy with pain due to a mutation in TRPV4

Highlights • We present a case of congenital spinal muscular atrophy with pain. • A TRPV4 gene mutation leading to an Arg269His substitution caused her disease. • TRPV4 mutations cause highly varied neuromuscular and non-neuromuscular phenotypes. • Sensory-motor neuropathy and pure motor neuropathy...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We present a case of congenital spinal muscular atrophy with pain. • A TRPV4 gene mutation leading to an Arg269His substitution caused her disease. • TRPV4 mutations cause highly varied neuromuscular and non-neuromuscular phenotypes. • Sensory-motor neuropathy and pure motor neuropathy or neuronopathy can occur. • Arg269His substitutions may cause pathology via increased calcium channel activity.
