    BMC Neurol 6:6. 2006
    ..A major goal of current therapeutic approaches is to increase SMN levels in SMA patients. The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable assay to measure SMN protein levels from peripheral blood samples...

    Stephen J Kolb
    Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA, USA
    J Child Neurol 22:990-4. 2007
    ..This review focuses on the current understanding of the mechanism of the role of the SMN complex in small nuclear ribonucleoprotein assembly and considers the relationship of this function to spinal muscular atrophy...

    Mol Cell Biol 25:5543-51. 2005
    ..Thus, SMN determines the capacity for snRNP biogenesis, and our findings provide evidence for a measurable deficiency in a biochemical activity in cells from patients with spinal muscular atrophy...

    Acta Neuropathol 113:543-8. 2007
    ..These results argue against a role of these binding partners in the pathogenesis of FTLD-U and emphasize the specificity of TDP-43 as marker for FTLD-U pathology...
