6 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by SMN1 dysfunction, and the copy number of SMN2 and NAIP can modify the phenotype of SMA. The aim of this study was to analyze the copy numbers and gene structures of SMA-related genes in Chinese SMA patients and unrelated healthy controls. METHODS: Forty-two Chinese SMA patients and two hundred and twelve unrelated healthy Chinese individuals were enrolled in...
