For SMA 2b, 91% (10/11) were diagnosed with low BMD, 9% (1/11) were normal. For SMA 3a, 46% (6/13) were diagnosed with low BMD, 8% (1/13) were diagnosed with osteoporosis, 46% (6/13) were normal. For SMA 3b, 40% (2/5) were diagnosed with low BMD, 60% (3/5) were normal. BMD: bone mineral density; SMA: spinal muscular atrophy
