Comprehensive analysis across<i>SMN2</i>excludes DNA methylation as an epigenetic biomarker for spinal muscular atrophy
2024-11-22
Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe neurodegenerative disease caused by defects in the survival motor neuron 1 ( SMN1 ) gene. The wide variability in SMA severity is partially explained by an inverse correlation with copy number variation of the second human SMN gene ( SMN2 ). Nevertheless, significant variability in severity and treatment response remains unexplained, prompting a search for accessible bioma...
