Plastin 3 expression in discordant spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) siblings

open access: yesNeuromuscular Disorders, 2011
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by loss or mutations of the survival motor neuron 1 gene (SMN1). Its highly homologous copy, SMN2, is present in all SMA cases and is a phenotypic modifier. There are cases where asymptomatic siblings of typical SMA patients possess a homozygous deletion of SMN1 just like their symptomatic brothers or sisters ...

Cognitive and neurodevelopmental disorders in spinal muscular atrophy type I at the time of disease‐modifying therapies

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract After treatment with new disease‐modifying therapies, cognitive and neurodevelopmental aspects have been observed in individuals with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Emerging evidence suggests that children with SMA type 1 may experience cognitive, language, and behavioural delays, with reported rates of neurodevelopmental difficulties ranging ...

ZPR1-Dependent Neurodegeneration Is Mediated by the JNK Signaling Pathway

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Neuroscience, 2019
The zinc finger protein ZPR1 deficiency causes neurodegeneration and results in a mild spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)-like disease in mice with reduced Zpr1 gene dosage. Mutation of the survival motor neuron 1 ( SMN1 ) gene causes SMA.

Notch Signaling Pathway Is Activated in Motoneurons of Spinal Muscular Atrophy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013

Autism spectrum disorder in children with spinal muscular atrophy type 1: Case series

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was identified in 37.5% of children with SMA (n = 13). While IQ did not differ significantly between groups, adaptive functioning was reduced in those with co‐occurring ASD. Results support routine early neurodevelopmental screening in children with spinal muscular atrophy.

Insights into diagnostic difficulties in spinal muscular atrophy: a Case Report series

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a progressive neuromuscular disorder caused by mutations in SMN1, with disease severity influenced by the number of SMN2 copies.

Self-oligomerization regulates stability of survival motor neuron protein isoforms by sequestering an SCFSlmb degron [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by homozygous mutations in human SMN1. Expression of a duplicate gene (SMN2) primarily results in skipping of exon 7 and production of an unstable protein isoform, SMNΔ7.

Ethics and equity in access to disease‐modifying therapies and newborn screening for spinal muscular atrophy: A scoping review

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Outcomes of children with cerebral palsy receiving long‐term respiratory support. Aim To review barriers to ethical and equitable access to disease‐modifying therapies (DMTs) and newborn screening (NBS) for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Method We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, the Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Primo for ...
