Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe neurodegenerative muscular disease caused by the homozygous loss of survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) genes. SMA patients exhibit marked skeletal muscle (SKM) loss, eventually leading to death. Here we generated two iPSC lines from two SMA type I patients with homozygous SMN1 mutations and validated the pluripotency and the ability to differentiate into three germ layers....
