Abstract

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease that causes general weakness, muscle atrophy, and poor muscle movement.  This condition is due to a homozygous disruption of the survival motor neuron (SMN) 1 survival gene due to deletion, conversion, or mutation.1
