Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy is an autosomal recessive motor neuron degenerative disorder, caused by the loss of telomeric copy of the survival motor neuron gene (SMN1). To better understand how motor neurons are targeted in Spinal muscular atrophy patients, it is important to study the role of SMN protein in cell death. In this report, we employed RNA interference (RNAi) to study the loss-of-function of SMN in...
