The authors present a complete SMN gene analysis in four type I unrelated spinal muscular atrophy patients who retained one copy of the SMN1 gene. Two intragenic point mutations were identified in exon 3 (I116F, Q136E), affecting a very conserved region with the Tudor domain of SMN1. The remaining two patients showed no alterations in the SMN1 coding sequences although a transcription defect was detected in one...
