Quantitative Analysis ofSMN1Gene and Estimation ofSMN1Deletion Carrier Frequency in Korean Population based on Real-Time PCR [PDF]
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder, caused by homozygous absence of the survival motor neuron gene (SMN1) in approximately 94% of patients. Since most carriers have only one SMN1 gene copy, several SMN1 quantitative analyses have been used for the SMA carrier detection.

SMN1 Deletions Among Singaporean Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Introduction: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder characterised by degeneration of spinal cord anterior horn cells, leading to muscular atrophy. It is the second most frequent autosomal recessive disease among Caucasian populations with a prevalence of between 1 in 6000 and 1 in 10,000 live births, and a ...

Detection of SMN1 loss with PCR-based screening test
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an inherited neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive skeletal muscular weakness and atrophy. The newborn screening for spinal muscular atrophy should define all molecular forms of SMA. The aim of this study is to compare a PCR-based test for detection of homozygous SMN1 loss with multiple ligation probe ...

Atrofias musculares espinales no asociadas a SMN1
RESUMEN: Las atrofias musculares espinales no-5q son un conjunto de entidades hereditarias, clínica y genéticamente heterogéneas secundarias a compromiso de las células del asta anterior de la médula. No están asociadas a deleción del gen de sobrevida de la motoneurona (SMN1) responsable de la forma más conocida y clásica de atrofia muscular espinal ...

Unaffected patients with a homozygous absence of the SMN1 gene [PDF]
In this report, we present three families in which we identified asymptomatic carriers of a homozygous absence of the SMN1 gene. In the first family, the bialleleic deletion was found in three of four siblings: two affected brothers (SMA type 3a and 3b) and a 25-years-old asymptomatic sister. All of them have four SMN2 copies.

A multi-exon-skipping detection assay reveals surprising diversity of splice isoforms of spinal muscular atrophy genes. [PDF]
Humans have two near identical copies of Survival Motor Neuron gene: SMN1 and SMN2. Loss of SMN1 coupled with the predominant skipping of SMN2 exon 7 causes spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a neurodegenerative disease.
