ICD-10-CM Code G12.0
Infantile spinal muscular atrophy, type I [Werdnig-Hoffman]

BILLABLE
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

G12.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of infantile spinal muscular atrophy, type I [Werdnig-Hoffman]. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code G120 is used to code Spinal muscular atrophy

Proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a genetic defect in the SMN1 gene, which encodes SMN, a protein widely expressed in all eukaryotic cells. SMN is apparently selectively necessary for survival of motor neurons, as diminished abundance of the protein results in loss of function of neuronal cells in the anterior horn of the spinal cord and subsequent system-wide muscle wasting (atrophy).

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Werdnig-Hoffmann disease (exact match)

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 335.0 was previously used, G12.0 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
