Leu228X mutation was diagnosed as SMA Ⅰ with 2 copies of SMN2, and the cases with p. Arg288Met were diagnosed as SMA Ⅰ and SMA Ⅱ, respectively, with 3 copies of SMN2 gene. Conclusion The mutations p. Leu228X and
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...
Here, we report on premature termination mutations in SMN1 exon 3 (425del5 and W102X) which induce skipping of the mutated exon. The novel nonsense mutation W102X was detected in two patients with a relatively mild phenotype who had only two copies of the SMN2 gene, a number that has ...
SMN2 基因与 SMN1 基因高度同源,但与 SMN1 基因有 5 个核苷酸序列的差异,其中外显子 7 上 C 到 T 的变化导致 SMN2 基因编码的前信使 RNA 剪切位点改变,产生 90% 的截短 mRNA,所表达的蛋白质也被迅速降解,仅有 10% 的前信使 RNA 可剪接、表达为正常的 SMN 蛋白 [3]。 SMN1 是致病基因 SMN1 基因...
The telomeric and centromeric 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 ...

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 ...
Excellent concordance ofSMN1andSMN2copy number results to sites’ in-house methods for over 500 replicates (Figure3) High assay specificity permits detection ofSMN1–SMN2hybrid peaks, including those resulting from gene conversion events (Figure 4) ...

The SMN2 gene can potentially express sufficient functional SMN protein to fully compensate for the loss of SMN1 in all patients with SMA, which makes it an attractive target for drug therapy. The development of therapeutic approaches would be greatly facilitated by precise knowledge of the mechanis...
