Background:Proximal spinal muscular atrophy(SMA)is a common neuromuscular disorder resulting in death during childhood.Around 81~95%of SMA cases are a result of homozygous deletions of survival motor neuron gene 1(SMN1)gene.Less than 5%of cases showed rare subtle mutations in SMN1.Many cis-...
Our study reveals a distinct spectrum of subtle mutations inSMN1of Chinese SMA patients from that of other ethnicities. The p.Arg288Met missense mutation possibly influences the correct splicing of exon 7 inSMN1. Mutation analysis of theSMN1gene in Chinese patients may contribute to the identificati...

An update of the mutation spectrum of the survival motor neuron gene (SMN1) in autosomal recessive spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Among the 23 different subtle mutations described so far, the Y272C missense mutation is the most frequent one, at 20%. Given this uniform mutation ... B Wirth...
(SMN1), ataxin-2 (ATX2), optineurin (OPT), angiogenin (ANG) and matrin-3 (MATR3) cause fALS with distinct aggregates,3disturbed autophagy and altered RNA processing. Even in sporadic ALS (sALS), toxic aggregates of such proteins in MNs are frequent and can be triggered by defective UPS...
Zolgensma (onasemnogene abeparvovec) is another therapeutic that uses an AAV to deliver a functional copy of the SMN1 gene to motor neurons in pediatric patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Gene replacement for NF1 has been challenging for two primary reasons: the lack of a full-...
The E102Q mutation in one such candidate gene, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone Sigma receptor-1 (SigR1), has been reported to cause juvenile ALS. Although loss of SigR1 protein contributes to neurodegeneration in several ways, the molecular mechanisms underlying E102Q-SigR1-mediated ...
An update of the mutation spectrum of the survival motor neuron gene (SMN1) in autosomal recessive spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is characterized by degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord, causing progressive weakness of the limbs and trunk, fo... B Wi...
