It has five subtypes, of which type 1 is considered to be the most severe; people with this form have a mutation in both ...

SMA type 1 is the leading genetic cause of infant death ... which also carries the instructions for building SMN protein but ...

a type of genetic engineering in which a change is made to only one nucleotide base of a gene in DNA. In this approach, the SMN2 gene was targeted because it encodes for the partial production of the ...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) can cause weakness, difficulty controlling movements, and difficulty swallowing and breathing. It can be carried in certain genes. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a ...
