Both survival of motor neuron () genes are associated with spinal muscular atrophy; mutations in cause the disease, and modulates its severity. It is established that different alternative splicing of exon 7 occurs for and , and a cryptic exon was recently found in intron 6 of both genes. Here, we characterize this cryptic exon and clarify its alternative splicing pattern in control and spinal muscular atrophy cells.
运动神经元存活(SMN)基因均与脊髓性肌萎缩症相关;SMN1基因的突变会引发该病,而SMN2基因则会调节其严重程度。现已确定,SMN1和SMN2基因的外显子7存在不同的可变剪接,并且最近在这两个基因的内含子6中发现了一个隐蔽外显子。在此,我们对这个隐蔽外显子进行了表征,并阐明了其在对照细胞和脊髓性肌萎缩症细胞中的可变剪接模式。
