Abstract excerpt
In this study, we established the first method for simultaneous evaluation of nine exons in the survival motor neuron (SMN) genes for full-scale genotyping. This method was used not only to quantify the copy numbers of highly homogenous telomeric SMN (SMN1)/centromeric SMN genes in exons 7 and 8 but also to determine intragenic mutations in all nine exons for complete diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)....
