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.

The social-economic burden of spinal muscular atrophy in Russia
Фармакоэкономика, 2021 Introduction. Spinal muscular atrophies (SMA) are clinically and genetically heterogeneous congenital orphan diseases that lead to progressive spinal motoneurons degeneration and loss of their function. There are 4 types of SMA with type I being the most

UBA1/GARS-dependent pathways drive sensory-motor connectivity defects in spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]
, 2018 Deafferentation of motor neurons as a result of defective sensory-motor connectivity is a critical early event in the pathogenesis of spinal muscular atrophy, but the underlying molecular pathways remain unknown.
