Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common motor neuron degenerative disease and the leading genetic cause of death of young children. The survival of motor neurons (SMN) gene, the SMA disease gene, is homozygously deleted or mutated in more than 98% of SMA patients. The SMN protein interacts with itself, with SMN-interacting protein 1, and with several spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) Sm...
