Lentivector-mediated SMN replacement in a mouse model of spinal muscular atrophy
15 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a frequent recessive autosomal disorder. It is caused by mutations or deletion of the telomeric copy of the survival motor neuron (SMN) gene, leading to depletion in SMN protein levels.
