BACKGROUND Autosomal recessive spinal muscular atrophy is a disease resulting from homozygous absence of SMN1 gene in approximately 94% of SMA patients. To identify patients who retained a single SMN1 copy, SMN1 dosage analysis was performed by quantitative Real-time PCR using SYBR green dye. SMN1 dosage analysis results were utilized to identify carriers before offering prenatal diagnosis. M...
BACKGROUND Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common neuromuscular disorder caused by mutations in SMN1. More than 95% of SMA patients carry homozygous SMN1 deletions. Thus, the SMN1 deletion test should be performed initially as part of the diagnostic process. However, SMN2, a highly homologous gene, hampers detection of SMN1 deletion. To differentiate between SMN1 and SMN2, many analysis meth...
Spinal muscular atrophy is a common autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by mutations in the survival motor neuron gene (SMN), which exists in 2 nearly identical copies (SMN1 and SMN2). Exon 7 of SMN1 is homozygously absent in about 95% of spinal muscular atrophy patients, whereas the loss of SMN2 does not cause spinal muscular atrophy. Small mutations are found in the other 5% of ...
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is one of the most common autosomal recessive diseases. Survival motor neuron1 (SMN1) is the SMA disease-determining gene. We examined the molecular basis of SMA in 113 Chinese SMA patients. Homozygous exon 7 and 8 deletions in SMN1 were detected by PCR-RFLP. Heterozygous deletion of SMN1 was analyzed based on variation of the sequencing peak height of the two diff...
Autosomal recessive spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common, fatal neuromuscular disease caused by homozygous absence of the SMN1 gene in approximately 94% of patients. However, a highly homologous SMN2 gene exists in the same chromosome interval, centromeric to SMN1, and hampers detection of SMN1. We present a new, rapid, simple, and highly reliable method for detecting the SMN1 deletion/con...
Most patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) have been reported to show homozygous deletion of the gene responsible for SMA, SMN1. However, whether SMA patients homozygous for the SMN1 deletion exist in Southeast Asian countries, including Vietnam, remains to be determined, because molecular genetic analyses of SMA patients from these countries have not been reported. In this preliminary st...
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common and lethal autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder, which is caused by mutations of the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. Additionally, the phenotype is modified by several genes nearby SMN1 in the 5q13 region. In this study, we analyzed mutations in SMN1 and quantified the modifying genes, including SMN2, NAIP, GTF2H2, and H4F5 by polymerase ...
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder with a carrier frequency of approximately 1 in 40. Approximately 95% of patients have homozygous deletions of exon 7 and/or 8 of the SMN1 gene. Carrier testing for SMA is relatively complex and requires quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of genomic DNA to determine SMN1 copy number. The purpose of this study was to asses...
Background and Objectives: The neuromuscular degenerative disorder, known as spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), is a common fatal disease in neonates. In most patients with SMA, exon 7 and/or exon 8 of SMN1 gene is deleted. It is reported that the deletion of exon 5 from NAIP gene may be involved in the severity of SMA disease. The present study was aimed to evaluate the genotype- phenotype correla...
OBJECTIVE Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is one of the most common severe hereditary diseases of infancy and early childhood in North America, Europe, and Asia. SMA is usually caused by deletions of the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. A closely related gene, SMN2, modifies the disease severity. SMA carriers have only 1 copy of SMN1 and are relatively common (1 in 30-50) in populations of Eu...
