Abstract excerpt
Autosomal recessive spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is classified, by age of onset and maximal motor milestones achieved, into type I (severe form), type II (intermediate form) and type III (mild/moderate form). SMA is caused by mutations in the survival motor neuron telomeric gene (SMN1) and a centromeric functional copy of this gene (SMN2) exists, both genes being located at 5q13. Homozygous deletion of exons 7...
