abstract：:Proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by mutations in the survival motor neuron gene (SMN1). In humans, two nearly identical copies of SMN exist and differ only by a single non-polymorphic C-->T nucleotide transition in exon 7. SMN1 contains a 'C' nucleotide at the +6 position of exon 7 and produces primari...
