Neurologic Clinics, 2015 Spinal muscular atrophy is an autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord and caused by mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 gene, SMN1. The severity of SMA is variable. The SMN2 gene produces a fraction of the SMN messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript produced by the SMN1 gene.

Diagnostic Code Ambiguity and Misclassification of Adults With Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Single-Center Chart Review [PDF]
JMIR Medical InformaticsIn a single US health system, fewer than one in three adults flagged by spinal muscular atrophy–associated diagnostic codes had molecularly confirmed spinal muscular atrophy (positive predictive value 27%), with the majority miscoded across clinically ...

Development of Therapies for Spinal Muscular Atrophy Using Gene Therapy and Nanotechnology [PDF]
, 2013 Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disease which is characterized by muscle weakness and atrophy. The disease arises from mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene causing degeneration of spinal cord motor neurons.

Protective Effect of Delta-Like 1 Homolog Against Muscular Atrophy in a Mouse Model [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2022 Background Muscle atrophy is caused by an imbalance between muscle growth and wasting. Delta-like 1 homolog (DLK1), a protein that modulates adipogenesis and muscle development, is a crucial regulator of myogenic programming.
