Published in 2021 at "Human Mutation"

DOI: 10.1002/humu.24200

Abstract: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by bi‐allelic loss or pathogenic variants in the SMN1 gene. SMN2, the highly homologous copy of SMN1, is considered the major phenotypic modifier of the disease. Determination of SMN2… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Human molecular genetics"

DOI: 10.1093/hmg/ddac260

Abstract: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a fatal neuromuscular disease caused by homozygous deletions or mutations of the SMN1 gene. SMN2 is a paralogous gene of SMN1 and a modifying gene of SMA. A better understanding… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Neurology"

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.

Published in 2022 at "International Journal of Molecular Sciences"

DOI: 10.3390/ijms23158289

Abstract: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe neuromuscular disorder caused by biallelic loss or pathogenic variants in the SMN1 gene. Copy number and modifier intragenic variants in SMN2, an almost identical paralog gene of SMN1,… read more here.
