Induced pluripotent stem cells from a spinal muscular atrophy patient

AD Ebert, J Yu, FF Rose Jr, VB Mattis, CL Lorson… - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
Spinal muscular atrophy is one of the most common inherited forms of neurological disease
leading to infant mortality. Patients have selective loss of lower motor neurons resulting in …

A single nucleotide in the SMN gene regulates splicing and is responsible for spinal muscular atrophy

CL Lorson, E Hahnen… - Proceedings of the …, 1999 - National Acad Sciences
SMN1 and SMN2 (survival motor neuron) encode identical proteins. A critical question is
why only the homozygous loss of SMN1, and not SMN2, results in spinal muscular atrophy (…

A Single Nucleotide Difference That Alters Splicing Patterns Distinguishes the SMA Gene SMN1 From the Copy Gene SMN2

UR Monani, CL Lorson, DW Parsons… - Human molecular …, 1999 - academic.oup.com
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a recessive disorder characterized by loss of motor neurons
in the spinal cord. It is caused by mutations in the telomeric survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1…

SMN oligomerization defect correlates with spinal muscular atrophy severity

CL Lorson, J Strasswimmer, JM Yao, JD Baleja… - Nature …, 1998 - nature.com
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a motor-neuron disorder resulting from anterior-horn–cell
death. The autosomal recessive form has a carrier frequency of 1 in 50 and is the most …

Evolutionary analysis of the Delta and Delta Plus variants of the SARS-CoV-2 viruses

…, SH Naqvi, HS Chand, TP Quinn, CL Lorson… - Journal of …, 2021 - Elsevier
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been rapidly
evolving in the form of new variants. At least eleven known variants have been reported. The …

An exonic enhancer is required for inclusion of an essential exon in the SMA-determining gene SMN

CL Lorson, EJ Androphy - Human molecular genetics, 2000 - academic.oup.com
The survival motor neuron genes, SMN1 and SMN2, encode identical proteins; however, only
homo‐ zygous loss of SMN1 correlates with the development of spinal muscular atrophy (…

Htra2-β1 stimulates an exonic splicing enhancer and can restore full-length SMN expression to survival motor neuron 2 (SMN2)

Y Hofmann, CL Lorson, S Stamm… - Proceedings of the …, 2000 - National Acad Sciences
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a common motor neuron disease in humans, results from
loss of functional survival motor neuron (SMN1) alleles. A nearly identical copy of the gene, …

Spinal muscular atrophy: a motor neuron disorder or a multi‐organ disease?

M Shababi, CL Lorson… - Journal of …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Spinal muscular atrophy ( SMA ) is an autosomal recessive disorder that is the leading genetic
cause of infantile death. SMA is characterized by loss of motor neurons in the ventral horn …

Spinal muscular atrophy: mechanisms and therapeutic strategies

CL Lorson, H Rindt, M Shababi - Human molecular genetics, 2010 - academic.oup.com
Lorson, Hansjorg Rindt, Monir Shababi, Spinal muscular atrophy: mechanisms and therapeutic
strategies… We would like to thank members of the Lorson Lab for their helpful discussions. …

Cardiac defects contribute to the pathology of spinal muscular atrophy models

…, SM Vale, WA Sewell, CL Lorson - Human molecular …, 2010 - academic.oup.com
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder, which is the leading
genetic cause of infantile death. SMA is the most common inherited motor neuron disease and …
