Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Most spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) patients are homozygous for survival of motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1) deletion. However, some SMA patients carry an intragenic SMN1 mutation. Such patients provide a clue to understanding the function of the SMN protein and the role of each domain of the protein. We previously identified mutations in the Tudor domain and C-terminal region of the SMN protein...
