Molecular analysis of survival motor neuron (SMN) and neuronal apoptosis inhibitory protein (NAIP) genes in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) patients in Malaysia [RJ482.A83 W333 2008 f rb].

Abstract

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) adalah sejenis penyakit kelemahan saraf otot yang akhirnya menyebabkan kemerosotan otot. Penyakit ini disebabkan oleh mutasi pada gen Survival Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1). Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease which is clinically characterized by progressive muscular weakness and atrophy of the skeletal muscles
