recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Human Genetics"

DOI: 10.1007/s00439-017-1835-2

Abstract: Low levels of the survival of motor neuron (SMN) protein cause the neurodegenerative disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). SMA is a pediatric disease characterized by spinal motor neuron degeneration. SMA exhibits several levels of severity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2018.02.009

Abstract: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common and oft-fatal pediatric neuromuscular disorder caused by insufficient SMN protein. Now, two clinical trials (Mendell et al., 2017; Finkel et al., 2017) demonstrate that restoring the protein is therapeutic, offering… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41591-021-01483-7

Abstract: Spinal muscular atrophy type 1 (SMA1) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease resulting from survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1) deletion/mutation. Onasemnogene abeparvovec (formerly AVXS-101) is a gene therapy that restores SMN production via one-time systemic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1042/bst20231116

Abstract: The underlying cause of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is in the reduction of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein levels due to mutations in the SMN1 gene. The specific effects of SMN protein loss and the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/hmg/ddab220

Abstract: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by the loss of the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene function. The related SMN2 gene partially compensates but produces insufficient levels of SMN protein due to alternative splicing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000007836

Abstract: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare autosomal recessive inherited neuromuscular disease with an incidence of about 1:6,000 to 1:10,000 in newborns. The clinical spectrum of severity is broad and ranges from early and severe… read more here.

DOI: 10.1358/dot.2017.53.6.2652413

Abstract: Patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) have an autosomal recessive disease that limits their ability to produce survival motor neuron (SMN) protein in the CNS resulting in progressive wasting of voluntary muscles. Detailed studies over… read more here.
