Genetic modifiers ameliorate endocytic and neuromuscular defects in a model of spinal muscular atrophy

Abstract Background Understanding the genetic modifiers of neurodegenerative diseases can provide insight into the mechanisms underlying these disorders. Here, we examine the relationship between the motor neuron disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), which is caused by reduced levels of the surviva...
