Epidemiological data on Werdnig-Hoffmann disease in Germany (West-Thüringen)

This study contains the largest body of epidemiological data on Werdnig-Hoffmann disease (acute infantile spinal muscular atrophy; ASMA) in West-Thüringen in Germany. The incidence of ASMA was calculated to be 1 in 10,202 live births. The prevalence was 1 in 595,362 of the general population (as of...

description This study contains the largest body of epidemiological data on Werdnig-Hoffmann disease (acute infantile spinal muscular atrophy; ASMA) in West-Thüringen in Germany. The incidence of ASMA was calculated to be 1 in 10,202 live births. The prevalence was 1 in 595,362 of the general population (as of 31 December 1987). The study gives an unexpectedly high incidence rate confirming the suggestion that ASMA in Central and Eastern Europe might be more frequent than in Western Europe. However, we consider that this high incidence rate in West-Thüringen is a result of the almost complete ascertainment made possible because of the well-organised and centralised health system existing in Thüringen over the last few decades.
