Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare hereditary neuromuscular disease with high lethality rate in infants. Homologous genes <italic>SMN1</italic> and <italic>SMN2</italic> were reported to be SMA pathogenic factors. Studies showed that high inclusion of SMN2 exon 7 increased SMN expression which in turn ameliorated the severity of SMA. The inclusion rate of SMN2 exon 7 was higher in...
