Abstract excerpt
Population-wide carrier screening for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is recommended by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. However, the methods used currently mainly focus on SMN1 copy number and fail to identify carriers with pathogenic intragenic mutations and silent (2 + 0) carriers. We developed a method termed comprehensive analysis of SMA (CASMA) based on long-range PCR and...
