An intronic structure enabled by a long-distance interaction serves as a novel target for splicing correction in spinal muscular atrophy

Here, we report a long-distance interaction (LDI) as a critical regulator of alternative splicing of Survival Motor Neuron 2 (SMN2) exon 7, skipping of which is linked to spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a leading genetic disease of children and infants. We show that this LDI is linked to a unique int...
