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 ...

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.

The Illness Narratives of Children and Young People With Spinal Muscular Atrophy: A Scoping Review

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim(s) This review seeks to explore the illness narratives of children and young people focusing on their healthcare trajectories; the right to health; and the kind of stories told about them. Design This scoping review adopts a narrative approach to analyse how the illness experience of Spinal Muscular Atrophy is represented in the literature,

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.

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.

Identification of pathways of degeneration and protection in motor neuron diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Motor neuron diseases preferentially affect specific neuronal populations with distinct clinical features even if disease-causing genes are expressed in many cell types. In spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), somatic motor neurons are selectively vulnerable

Stem Cells From Dental Pulp, Periodontal Tissues, and Other Oral Sources: Biological Concepts and Regenerative Potential

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
A graphical abstract recapping the different sources of dental, periodontal, and other oral‐derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and their regenerative mechanisms and potentials. The review's article findings bridge fundamental biological science with translational advances, highlighting the significance of MSCs in craniofacial regenerative ...

Novel Biallelic PLEKHG5 Variant Associated With Intermediate Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth Disease: Case Report From South America

open access: yesJournal of the Peripheral Nervous System, Volume 31, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Biallelic pathogenic variants in PLEKHG5 are associated with two distinct recessive phenotypes, including distal hereditary motor neuropathy AR type 4 and intermediate Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease type C (CMT). No South American cases have been previously reported.
