Abstract excerpt
Approximately 94% of patients with spinal muscular atrophy lack both copies of SMN1 exon 7, and most carriers have only one copy of SMN1 exon 7. We described previously the effect of SMN1/SMN2 heteroduplex formation on SMN gene dosage analysis, which is a multiplex quantitative PCR assay to determine the copy numbers of SMN1 and SMN2 using DraI digestion to differentiate SMN2 from SMN1. We describe herein the...
