Fetuses with degenerative neurological disorders or metabolic diseases rarely exhibit sonographic abnormalities. As a result, prenatal diagnosis, when available, requires invasive testing. Prenatal diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) can be made by testing chorionic villi or amniocytes. Indir

The expression of the genes for the ␣-subunit of AChR (AChR␣), for the myogenic factors myogenin and MyoD, for the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin (PV), and for the muscular chloride channel ClC-1 was studied in the three mouse spinal muscular atrophies (SMAs). These were the mutants ''wobbler''
## Abstract Human spinal cord development is still poorly understood and detailed molecular analyses of human motoneuron diseases could improve our understanding of the normal developmental processes of the spinal cord. Lethal Congenital Contracture Syndrome (LCCS, MIM 253310) provides a human mode
