Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To describe the occurrence of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in childhood; to evaluate if any of the genes in the SMA region on chromosome 5q13 correlates with disease severity; to make genotype-phenotype correlations; to evaluate the variability of different disease alleles in carriers and the sensitivity of multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) for detecting carriers.
