Abstract excerpt
A simple and precise diagnostic method for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) using high-resolution CE-based single-strand conformation polymorphism (CE-SSCP) was developed in this study. SMA is a common genetic disorder caused by an abnormality in the relative copy numbers of SMN1 and its centromeric copy SMN2, which differ only in two nucleotides, namely at exons 7 and 8. Therefore, the precise discrimination of the...
