Intragenic and structural variation in the SMN locus and clinical variability in spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]
Clinical severity and treatment response vary significantly between patients with spinal muscular atrophy. The approval of therapies and the emergence of neonatal screening programmes urgently require a more detailed understanding of the genetic variants

Current evidence for treatment with nusinersen for spinal muscular atrophy : a systematic review [PDF]
Recent discovery of nusinersen, an antisense oligonucleotide drug, has provided encouragement for improving treatment of spinal muscular atrophy. No therapeutic options currently exist for this autosomal recessive motor neuron disorder.

Further supporting evidence for REEP1 phenotypic and allelic heterogeneity. [PDF]
Heterozygous mutations in REEP1 (MIM #609139) encoding the receptor expression-enhancing protein 1 (REEP1) are a well-recognized and relatively frequent cause of autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), SPG31.1 REEP1 localizes in the ...

The spinal muscular atrophies are a group of mostly inherited disorders selectively affecting the lower motor neuron. There is a wide degree of clinical and genetic heterogeneity that must be taken into account when giving prognostic information. Autosomal recessive childhood proximal SMA is the commonest form and is due to mutations in a gene encoding

Dysfunction of axonal membrane conductances in adolescents and young adults with spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]
Spinal muscular atrophy is distinct among neurodegenerative conditions of the motor neuron, with onset in developing and maturing patients. Furthermore, the rate of degeneration appears to slow over time, at least in the milder forms.

Newborn screening for spinal muscular atrophy : the views of affected families and adults [PDF]
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is one of the leading genetic causes of infant death worldwide. However, due to a lack of treatments, SMA has historically fallen short of Wilson-Jungner criteria.

Rehabilitation in spinal muscular atrophy
Introduction and objective Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a disease of the nervous system caused by the degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord. The disease is caused by a homozygous deletion of the motor neuron survival gene (SMN1),
