Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To explore the applicability and limitation of PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method for genetic diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). METHODS: PCR-RFLP was applied to detect potential deletion in exons 7 and 8 of SMN1 gene in 935 suspected cases with SMA. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification(MLPA) was carried out to analyze dosage alteration of SMN1 gene in...
