Jokela type spinal muscular atrophy , also known as late-onset spinal motor neuronopathy , is an ultra-rare neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle twitches and cramps. The symptoms appear in adulthood and gradually progress. The disease is caused by a mutation in the CHCHD10 gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. It was first described by the Finnish neurologist Manu Jokela in 2011.
