The Importance of Gene Detection in Spinal Muscular Atrophy Diagnosis
Release Date 2024-02-01

Gene detection plays a crucial role in diagnosing and understanding genetic diseases such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). SMA is a debilitating condition characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord. By accurately detecting gene variations, medical professionals can provide early intervention and personalized treatment plans for SMA patients. In this article, we will explore the significance of gene detection in SMA diagnosis and introduce the Tianlong Human Survival Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1) Gene Detection Kit as a comprehensive testing solution.

Understanding Spinal Muscular Atrophy and its Genetic Basis

 

Spinal Muscular Atrophy is a genetic disease that affects the motor neurons in the spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy. The severity of SMA can vary, ranging from mild symptoms to life-threatening complications. The SMN1 and SMN2 genes are crucial in SMA development. While SMN1 is the main component, SMN2 acts as a regulatory gene. Variations in the SMN1 gene, particularly in exon 7 and exon 8, are prevalent among SMA patients, with approximately 95% exhibiting the absence of these exons.
