SMN1 copy‐number and sequence variant analysis from next‐generation sequencing data
14 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe neuromuscular autosomal recessive disorder affecting 1/10,000 live births. Most SMA patients present homozygous deletion of SMN1, while the vast majority of SMA carriers present only a single SMN1 copy. The sequence similarity between SMN1 and SMN2, and the complexity of the SMN locus makes the estimation of the SMN1 copy-number by next-generation sequencing (NGS) very...
