Selective vulnerability of spinal and cortical motor neuron subpopulations in delta7 SMA mice.

Selective vulnerability of spinal and cortical motor neuron subpopulations in delta7 SMA mice.

Loss of the survival motor neuron gene (SMN1) is responsible for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), the most common inherited cause of infant mortality. Even though the SMA phenotype is traditionally considered as related to spinal motor neuron loss, it remains debated whether the specific targeting of...
