O-27: Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis in Prevention of Genetic Diseases -Diagnostic of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
Background: Preimplantation genetic diagnosis - PGD is currently an established procedure allowing genetic research of oocyte or embryo before implantation to the uterus. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disorder, being the second most common lethal autosomal recessive disease in Caucasians, after cystic fibrosis. There are three clinically different types of which type I (W...
متن کاملSpinal Muscular Atrophy: A Short Review Article
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disorder which affect nervous system and is characterized with progressive distal motor neuron weakness. The survival motor neuron (SMN) protein level reduces in patients with SMA. Two different genes code survival motor neuron protein in human genome. Skeletal and intercostal muscles denervation lead to weakness, hypotony, hyporeflexia, respiratory fa...

Introduction: The purpose of this article is to evaluate the status of articles in the field of Spinal Muscular Atrophy According to the Scientometrics indices Word co-occurrence map of this field . Methods: The present study is an applied one with a quantitative approach and a descriptive approach. It has been done using scientometrics and the co-occurrence words analysis technique. Document...
متن کاملSynaptic Defects in the Spinal and Neuromuscular Circuitry in a Mouse Model of Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a major genetic cause of death in childhood characterized by marked muscle weakness. To investigate mechanisms underlying motor impairment in SMA, we examined the spinal and neuromuscular circuitry governing hindlimb ambulatory behavior in SMA model mice (SMNΔ7). In the neuromuscular circuitry, we found that nearly all neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) in hindlimb ...
متن کاملSMN1 and NAIP genes deletions in different types of spinal muscular atrophy in Khuzestan province, Iran
Background: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the second most common lethal autosomal recessive disease. It is a neuromuscular disorder caused by degenerative of lower motor neurons and occasionally bulbar neurons leading to progressive limb paralysis and muscular atrophy. The SMN1 gene is recognized as a SMA causing gene while NAIP has been characterized as a modifying factor for the clinical ...
