Spinobulbar muscular atrophies, also known as SBMA, refer to a group of rare genetic disorders that primarily affect the muscles involved in movement. Synonymous terms for SBMA include Kennedy's disease and bulbo-spinal atrophy. These conditions are characterized by progressive muscle weakness and wasting, particularly in the limbs and bulbar regions, impacting speech and swallowing abilities. SBMA is caused by a mutation in the androgen receptor gene, leading to impaired functionality of motor neurons. While there is currently no cure for SBMA, various management strategies are available to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. It is essential for medical professionals and affected individuals to be aware of the different synonyms associated with this condition, facilitating effective communication and understanding.
