Temperature sensitive SMA-causing point mutations lead to SMN instability, locomotor defects, and premature lethality in <i>Drosophila</i>

2019-11-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the leading genetic cause of death in young children, arising from homozygous deletion or mutation of the SMN1 gene. SMN protein expressed from a paralogous gene, SMN2 , is the primary genetic modifier of SMA; small changes in overall SMN levels cause dramatic changes in disease severity. Thus, deeper insight into mechanisms that regulate SMN protein stability...
