Note that the nine exons of both the telomeric and centromeric copies are designated historically as exon 1, 2a, 2b, and 3-8. It is thought that gene conversion events may involve the two genes, leading to varying copy numbers of each gene. The protein encoded by this gene localizes to...
5）months．In 37patients with deletions in SMN1gene ，exon 7and /or 8had 2copies in SMN2gene in 18cases ，the average age of onset was （4．9ʃ3．9）months．13out of 18cases （72．2%）were type Ⅰ，5cases （27.8%）were type Ⅱ．There were 19patients with increased SMN2gene ...
copies of this gene are nearly identical and encode the same protein - survival motor neuron protein. The SMN complex plays a catalyst role in the assemble of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins, the building blocks of the spliceosome. Mutations in the SMN1 gene are known to cause spinal muscular ...
repetitive elements which make it prone to rearrangements and deletions. The repetitiveness and complexity of the sequence have also caused difficulty in determining the organization of this genomic region. The telomeric and centromeric copies of this gene are nearly identical and encode the same ...
High assay specificity permits detection ofSMN1–SMN2hybrid peaks, including those resulting from gene conversion events (Figure 4) 100% agreement between Sanger sequencing and PCR/CESMN1/2Plus Kit for detection ofSMN1gene duplication andSMN2disease modifier variants (Figure 5). ...
copies of this gene are nearly identical and encode the same protein.However,mutations in this gene,the telomeric copy,are associated with spinal muscular atrophy;mutations in the centromeric copy do not lead to disease.The centromeric copy may be a modifier of disease caused by mutation in the...

Mutations in the survival motor neuron gene ( SMN1 ) are determinant for the development of the disease whereas the number of copies of SMN2, the highly homologous copy of SMN1, plays a role as a phenotypic modifier factor. The detection of SMN1 homozygous deletions is the typical test for ...
It has been reported that a small proportion of parents may have a "2+0" genotype in which there are two SMN1 gene copies on one chromosome and none on the other. In such cases a normal dosage analysis should be followed by linkage analysis of the family in order to try to distinguish...
The telomeric and centromeric copies of this gene are nearly identical and encode the sameAnti-SMN1抗体 protein. While mutations in the telomeric copy are associated with spinal muscular atrophy, mutations in this gene, the centromeric copy, do not lead to disease. This gene may be a modifier ...
