Genomic analysis of the SMN1 gene region in patients with clinically diagnosed spinal muscular atrophy: a retrospective observational study
Abstract Background Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease. Most patients with SMA have a mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene on chromosome 5q. With current genetic testing, SMN1 copy number is determined; a diagnosis is reached when the copy nu...
