Impact of liver-specific survival motor neuron (SMN) depletion on central nervous system and peripheral tissue pathology
2024-05-22
Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder stemming from deletions or mutations in the Survival Motor Neuron 1 ( SMN1 ) gene, leading to decreased levels of SMN protein, and subsequent motor neuron death and muscle atrophy.
