Survival motor neuron gene deletion in the arthrogryposis multiplex congenita-spinal muscular atrophy association.
1 Sept 1996
Abstract excerpt
The survival motor neuron (SMN) gene was lacking in 6/12 patients with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) associated with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Neither point mutation in the SMN gene nor evidence for linkage to chromosome 5q13 were found in the other patients. Hitherto, arthrogryposis was regarded as an exclusion criterion in SMA. Our data strongly suggest that AMC of neurogenic origin is...
