Characterisation of novel point mutations in the survival motor neuron gene SMN, in three patients with SMA.
We report two novel mutations in three cases of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), including two distant cousins who followed an unexpectedly severe course. Diagnosis was confirmed by reduced SMN protein and full-length SMN mRNA levels. Sequencing of the non-deleted SMN1 gene revealed a single G inserti...
