The condition is usually caused by mutations in a gene called SMN1, which contains instructions for how to make a protein called survival motor neuron (SMN) protein.This protein is critical for ...

A two-and-a-half-year-old girl shows no signs of a rare genetic disorder, after becoming the first person to be treated for the motor-neuron condition while in the womb. The child’s mother took ...

SMA is caused by reduced levels of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein due to deletions or mutations of the SMN1 gene. A nearly identical gene, SMN2, produces low levels of functional SMN protein.
