MOLECULAR DIAGNOSIS IN SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHY: APPLICATIONS AT A REFERENCE CENTER IN AEGEAN REGION

Abstract

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is one of the most common autosomal recessive neurodegeneratıve disorders. In this study, 18 patients diagnosed to have SMA by pediatric neurologist were investigated for teiomeric-Survivai Motor Neuron (tSMN) and Neuronal Apoptosis Inhibitory Protein (NAİP) gene deletions. Among 18 patients, 8 had both exon 7 and 8 deletions of SMN gene and exon 6 deletion of NAİP gene. Six patients had exon 7 and 8 deletions of tSMN. Two patients who were sibling had only exon 7 deletions of tSMN gene. İn two patients out of 18 patients no deletion could be detected in the genes investigated.
