Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether survival motor neuron (SMN) expression was stable over time. METHODS: We developed a multiplex real-time reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR assay to quantify SMN transcripts in preclinical blood samples from 42 patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) drawn for three time points per patient; most blood samples were shipped to a centralized laboratory. RESULTS: We obtained a...
