Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>SMA (spinal muscular atrophy) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease that causes muscle atrophy and weakness. SMA is diagnosed by homozygous deletion in exon 7 of the <italic>SMN1</italic> gene. However, mutations in other genes in the SMA region may contribute to the disease. These include <italic>SMN2</italic>, which is a pseudogene of <italic>SMN1</italic>, as well as <itali...
