Abstract excerpt
The mouse autosomal recessive mutation progressive motor neuropathy (pmn) results in early onset motor neuron disease with rapidly progressing hindlimb paralysis, severe muscular wasting, and death at 4--6 weeks of age. pmn is thus considered a good animal model for motor neuron diseases and the characterization of the causative gene should help in understanding the biological causes of human spinal muscular...
