Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Population-wide carrier screening for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is recommended by professional organizations to facilitate informed reproductive options. However, genetic screening for SMN1 2 + 0 carriers, accounting for 3%-8% of all SMA carriers, has been challenging due to the large gene size and long distance between the 2 SMN genes. METHODS: Here we repurposed a previously developed long-read...
