Survival motor neuron (SMN) messenger RNA and protein levels in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) model mice and in patients with SMA were measured. There was a high correlation between leukocyte and spinal cord SMN expression in SMA model mice and a moderate correlation between leukocyte SMN expression and age of disease onset in patients with SMA.
对脊髓性肌萎缩症(SMA)模型小鼠和SMA患者的存活运动神经元(SMN)信使核糖核酸及蛋白质水平进行了测量。在SMA模型小鼠中,白细胞与脊髓SMN表达之间存在高度相关性;在SMA患者中,白细胞SMN表达与疾病发病年龄之间存在中度相关性。
