Neonatal spinal muscular atrophy with diaphragmatic paralysis is unlinked to 5q11.2-q13.

Spinal 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...

Genes for SMA: Multum in parvo

In this issue of Ceil, we take the unusual step of publishing two articles each of which reports the identification of a different gene in the appropriate chromosomal region associated with the human disease of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Each paper individually meets the standard for publication in providing adequate evidence to identify systematic changes in the gene in patients with the d...
