We describe a family with one brother suffering from a hypertrophic type of peroneal muscular atrophy, and a sister suffering from a late infantile from of spinal muscular atrophy. There are no other affected members in the relatives studied. This association has not been previously described, and has appeared as a result of a consanguineous marriage.
