Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a lower motor neuron disease with autosomal recessive
inheritance. The first cases of SMA were reported by Werdnig in 1891. Although the …

One of the most amazing findings in molecular biology was the discovery that eukaryotic
genes are discontinuous, with coding DNA being interrupted by stretches of non-coding …

The neurodegenerative disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by deficiency in
the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. Currently approved SMA treatments aim to restore …

RNA binding proteins are critical to the maintenance of the transcriptome via controlled
regulation of RNA processing and transport. Alterations of these proteins impact multiple …

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) describes a group of disorders associated with spinal motor
neuron loss. In this review we provide an update regarding the most common form of SMA …

Abstract The multifunctional Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) protein is required for the survival
of all organisms of the animal kingdom. SMN impacts various aspects of RNA metabolism …

Ever since loss of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein was identified as the direct cause of
the childhood inherited neurodegenerative disorder spinal muscular atrophy, significant …

Spinal muscular atrophy type 1 (SMA1) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease resulting
from survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1) deletion/mutation. Onasemnogene abeparvovec …

SMN1 and SMN2 (survival motor neuron) encode identical proteins. A critical question is
why only the homozygous loss of SMN1, and not SMN2, results in spinal muscular atrophy …

Spinal muscular atrophy is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease
characterised by degeneration of spinal cord motor neurons, atrophy of skeletal muscles …
