Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by biallelic variants of the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. In this study, our aim was to make a molecular diagnosis in two patients with SMA carrying only one SMN1 copy number. Using ultra-long read sequencing (Ultra-LRS), 1415 bp deletion and 3348 bp deletion of the SMN1 gene were identified in patient 1 and the father of patient 2,...
