Arthrogryposis due to infantile neuronal degeneration associated with deletion of the <i> SMN ^T </i> gene

Abstract excerpt

To determine whether SMNT deletion may be associated with arthrogryposis, we tested DNA extracted from paraffin blocks for deletion of SMNT (exons 7 and 8). Analysis of the DNA showed an SMNT deletion in two of four infants with neurogenic arthrogryposis. In addition to loss of anterior horn cells, patients with SMNT deletion had degeneration of central sensory neurons in Clarke's column and the thalamus....
