Concomitant telomere attrition is associated with spinal muscular atrophy in highly inbred region of North India: unraveling the thread in Kashmir region

Abstract Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare genetic disorder that unequivocally results in the degeneration of motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy. This condition is caused by a mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene, which inevitably results in a deficiency of th...
