Abstract excerpt
Proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder characterised by degeneration of motor neurones in the spinal cord. The symptoms of the disease are determinated by mutations of SMN1 gene. About 98% of SMA patients show homozygous absence of exon 7 SMN1 gene, the rest carry small intragenic mutations. Molecular analysis of the presence of exon 7 SMN1 gene deletion is...
