Spinal Muscular Atrophy

The grading rubric is as
follows:
• Relevancy – Is your paper relevant/related to a cellular or molecular biology topic?……. 0.5 %

• Length, Depth and Accuracy – The term paper should be a minimum of 8 double- spaced typed pages , with an in-depth discussion of your topic (not) information from a web page but your interpretation from primary articles). Is your information accurate? ……. 2.5 %

• Clarity and Conciseness of Topic – Is your paper easy to understand for an
undergraduate biology audience? Is it clear and concise? …….. 1%

Hello, I want the paper to focus on the genetic mutations that cause Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

– What is spinal muscular atrophy and is it hereditary?

– Which genes are mutated and in what ways are they mutated to cause this disease?

– Which genetic processes are affected by this mutation?

– What is the life expectancy?

– Discuss the different types and the different genetic mutations in each type:
SMA type 0
SMA type 1
SMA type 2
SMA type 3
SMA type 4

– Is it a treatable disease and which medications would be used to treat this condition?
