Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To develop a rapid and reliable approach for testing the copy number of survival motor neuron (SMN) gene and analyze the compound heterozygous deletions of SMN1 gene. METHODS: Peripheral blood samples were collected from 38 non-homozygous deletion pediatric patients with SMA, 30 homozygous deletion patients with SMA, and 35 un-related healthy persons. SMN1 and SMN2 genes were amplified separately with...
