Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the telomeric survival motor neuron gene (SMN1) are related to spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). However, no phenotype-genotype correlation has been observed since the SMN1 gene is lacking in the majority of patients affected with either the severe form (type I) or the milder forms (types II and III). Here, we analyze the SMN, NAIP and P44 genes in 132 Chinese SMA patients and their families. At least...
