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 کاملPreimplantation genetic diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy.
After Duchenne muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the most common severe neuromuscular disease in childhood. Since 1995, homozygous deletions in exon 7 of the survival motor neuron (SMN) gene have been described in >90-95% of SMA patients. However, the presence of a highly homologous SMN copy gene complicates the detection of exon 7 deletions. This paper describes the adjustme...

Six unaffected livebirths following preimplantation diagnosis for spinal muscular atrophy.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe neurodegenerative autosomal recessive disorder, second only in frequency to cystic fibrosis. In its most severe form, SMA type I (Werdnig-Hoffman), death invariably ensues before age 2 years from respiratory failure or infection. Around 98% of clinical cases of SMA are caused by the homozygous absence of a region of exons 7 and 8 of the telomeric copy o...
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...
