Abstract excerpt
Proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by deletion or mutation of SMN1 (survival motor neuron 1). SMN exon 7 splicing is regulated by a number of exonic and intronic regulatory sequences and the trans-factors that bind them. Variants located in or near these regulated regions should be evaluated to determine their effect on splicing. We identified the rare...
