The spinal muscular atrophy-determining gene, survival motor neuron (SMN), is present in two copies, telSMN and cenSMN, which can be distinguished by base-pair changes in exons 7 and 8. The telSMN gene is often absent in spinal muscular atrophy patients, which could be due to deletion or sequence co

Childhood-onset spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuropathy characterized by selective degeneration of alpha-motor neuron cells of the spinal cord. Age of onset and motor development varies greatly among patients, but the molecular basis of this variability remains unclear. Th
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common neuromuscular disorder caused by homozygous inactivation of the SMN1 (Survival Motor Neuron 1) gene. The disease severity is mainly influenced by the copy number of SMN2, a nearly identical gene from which only low amounts of full-length mRNA are produced. T
