Spinal muscular atrophy: molecular genetics and diagnostics.

Expert review of molecular diagnostics - 1 Jan 2004

Ogino Shuji, Wilson Robert B

Abstract excerpt

Spinal muscular atrophy is one of the most common autosomal recessive diseases, affecting approximately one in 10,000 live births and with a carrier frequency of approximately one in 50. Spinal muscular atrophy is caused by a deficiency of the ubiquitous protein survival of motor neuron (SMN), which is encoded by the SMN genes, SMN1 and SMN2. Due to a single nucleotide polymorphism (840C>T), SMN2 produces less...
