Abstract excerpt

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive motor neuropathy characterized by selective degeneration of anterior horn cells of the spinal cord. Childhood SMA is divided into three types (I-III) on the basis of age of onset and severity. These disorders have been linked to the 5q13 region, where mutations in the Survival Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1) gene have been found in affected individuals. In the case of...
