Abstract excerpt
Proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common fatal autosomal recessive disorder caused by deletion or mutation of the survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1). Here, we studied SMA molecular pathology in 653 Chinese patients and found approximately 88.2% with homozygous SMN1 exon 7 deletion and 6.3% with heterozygous exon 7 loss using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification. SMN1 variants were detected in...
