Absence of an Intron Splicing Silencer in Porcine Smn1 Intron 7 Confers Immunity to the Exon Skipping Mutation in Human SMN2
Spinal Muscular Atrophy is caused by homozygous loss of SMN1. All patients retain at least one copy of SMN2 which produces an identical protein but at lower levels due to a silent mutation in exon 7 which results in predominant exclusion of the exon. Therapies targeting the splicing of SMN2 exon 7 h...
