Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To detect the correlation between the clinical phenotype of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and survival motor neuron gene (SMN2) copy number. METHODS: The SMN2 gene copy numbers of 57 different types of SMA were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR method with TaqMan technique. RESULTS: Average SMN2 copy number was 1.017 +/- 0.090, 2.019+/- 0.080, 3.104+/- 0.170 in predicting one, two,...
