Paraphase – a computational tool that accurately resolves and analyzes paralogous genes – unlocks the difficult-to-analyze ...

Unlike gene therapy, which adds a new, healthy copy of the SMN1 gene, the ASO developed by Ionis is a short string of genetic material that binds to the product of the SMN2 gene, in a section ...

These regions contain hundreds of medically relevant genes, including those involved in spinal muscular atrophy (SMN1/SMN2), congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CYP21A2) and red-green color blindness ...

SMA is caused by reduced levels of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein due to deletions or mutations of the SMN1 gene. A nearly identical gene, SMN2, produces low levels of functional SMN protein.

SMA, estimated to occur in around 1 in every 6,000 to 1 in every 11,000 births in the U.S., can range in onset and symptoms. Types 1 through 4 are linked to a mutation in both copies of the SMN1 gene ...

The SMN2 gene is a closely related gene that can partially compensate for the loss of SMN1. The number of copies of the SMN2 gene a person has can influence the severity and onset of the disease.

She later participated in a clinical trial for a different drug, risdiplam (Evrysdi), a small molecule that also aims to increase the expression of full-length SMN2 pre-mRNA, and boost SMN production.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Brand Connect InitiativeSMA is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning a child usually inherits two mutated genes (SMN1 gene), one from each parent, to develop ...

Children were included in the study if they had a confirmed heterozygous mutation in SMN1 gene and 2 or 3 copies of SMN2, a body weight of ≤50 lbs, previous or current therapy with a DMT for SMA ...

Among patients with SMA type 1 and type 2 in Egypt, all of whom had standard disease-causing mutations in the SMN1 gene, fewer copies of SMN2 and a loss of NAIP were associated with more severe type 1 ...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a devastating pediatric neuromuscular disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the SMN1 gene, which prevents the body from producing enough of the survival ...
