SMN基因有两个高度同源的拷贝:SMN1和SMN2。SMN1和SMN2的主要功能差别在于7号外显子。它们7号外显子的起始处存在一个核苷差异(SMN1是C,SMN2是T)。因为RNA的剪接的原因,SMN1编码全长的SMN转录产物(SMN-fl),而SMN2编码生成大量跳跃外显子7的选择性转录产物(SMNΔ7)和少量SMN-fl。SMN-fl含有7号外显子,SMNΔ...
Spinal muscular atrophy(SMA) is an autosomal recessive disease affecting the α motor neurons of the anterior horn of the spinal cord.1The typical patterns of atrophy are the result of a deletion in one of the survival motor neuron genes (SMN1andSMN2),2which produce a protein necessary for ...
SMA是一种罕见疾病..SMA是一种罕见疾病,全名为脊髓性肌肉萎缩症(Spinal Muscular Atrophy)。患者因常染色体SMN1基因的缺失或异常(突变),导致脊髓前角运动神经元发生渐进性退化,造成受运动神经支配
Spinal muscular atrophy is caused by a mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. This gene is responsible for producing survival motor neuron (SMN) protein, which maintains the health and normal function of motor neurons. In individuals with spinal muscular atrophy, both copies of th...
The SMN1 protein is responsible for the bulk of SMN development. While SMN2 creates small amounts of SMN, the production amount is not enough to allow for normal function if the SMN1 gene is damaged and/or not working. Some patients with Type II, III, or IV have multiple copies of the...
Spinal muscular atrophy: clinical validation of a single-tube multiplex real time PCR assay for determination of SMN1 and SMN2 copy numbers. Clin Biochem 2012;45:88-91.Maranda B, Fan L, Soucy JF, Simard L, Mitchell GA:Spinal muscular atrophy: clinical validation of a single-tube multiplex ...
Spinal Muscular Atrophy Causes SMA is a disease that's passed down through families. If your child has SMA, it's because they have two copies of a broken gene, one from each parent. When this happens, their body won't be able to make a specific kind ofprotein. Without it, the cells...
As a result, muscles do not get the electrical signals that normally tell them to move, resulting in muscle weakness and ultimately leading to muscle atrophy over time.How is SMA inherited?Everyone inherits two copies of the SMN1 gene, one from each biological parent. SMA is an autosomal ...
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), caused by loss of the SMN1 gene, is a leading cause of early childhood death. Due to the near identical sequences of SMN1 and SMN2, analysis of this region is challenging. Population-wide SMA screening to quantify the SMN1
The SMN shortage is a result of problems with a couple of different genes, called the SMN1 or SMN2 genes. Spinal muscular atrophy is an inherited disease; both parents have to have the faulty genes to pass the disease onto their child. If both parents are carriers of the faulty gene, th...
