Abstract excerpt
The spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) phenotype strongly correlates with the SMN2 gene copy number. However, the severity and progression of the disease vary widely even among affected individuals with identical copy numbers. This study aimed to investigate the impact of genetic variability in oxidative stress, inflammatory, and neurodevelopmental pathways on SMA susceptibility and clinical progression. Genotyping...
