Abstract excerpt
The aim of our study was to identify point mutations in a group of 606 patients diagnosed for spinal muscular atrophy with excluded biallelic loss of the SMN1 gene.

Six patients were found to have small deletions, the c.429_435del mutation in 3 cases, the c.431delC mutation in 2 and c.722delC in one. Those...
