Table 3. Levels of SMN protein in PBMCs and fibroblasts.
PBMCs | Fibroblasts | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
SMA (n = 135) | Controls (n = 229) | SMA (n = 40) | Controls (n = 47) | |
SMN protein levels* Mean ±SD (range) | 3.7 ± 2.4 (0.4–13.2) | 5.3 ± 3.6 (0.3–18.3) | 8.8 ± 4.3 (2.5–22.1) | 13.4 ± 5.6 (2.4–25.8) |
PBMCs = Peripheral blood mononuclear cells; ND = not determined
* = nanogram per 1 gram total protein
