Long-read sequencing identifies copy-specific markers of SMN gene conversion in spinal muscular atrophy

Abstract Background The complex 2 Mb survival motor neuron (SMN) locus on chromosome 5q13, including the spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)-causing gene SMN1 and modifier SMN2, remains incompletely resolved due to numerous segmental duplications. Variation in SMN2 copy number, presumably influenced by SM...
