Targeted sequencing of maternal plasma for haplotype‐based non‐invasive prenatal testing of spinal muscular atrophy
22 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
Five pregnant women with a child affected by spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) were recruited between November 2014 and March 2015. Deletion of exons 7 and/or 8 in the SMN1 gene were identified by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), the current standard diagnostic test for SMA. Parental and fetal haplotypes of the SMN1 gene were determined in each family from haplotype-based non-invasive testing...
