Missense mutations in exon 6 of the survival motor neuron gene in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

Human molecular genetics - 1 May 1997

Hahnen E, Schönling J, Rudnik-Schöneborn S, Raschke H, Zerres K, Wirth B

Abstract excerpt

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a frequent autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder leading to weakness and atrophy of voluntary muscles. The survival motor neuron gene (SMN) is a strong candidate for SMA and present in two highly homologous copies (telSMN and cenSMN) within the SMA region...
