Disease_model_descriptionSpinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a common, untreatable, and often fatal neuromuscular disease predominately caused by reduced Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) protein function; smn-1(ok355) worms have growth and neuromuscular defects; knockdown of atf-6 via RNAi enhances the growth defects of the smn-1 loss of function worms identifying it as a gene that modulates the neuropathology of smn-1.
