Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder primarily caused by the deletion or mutation of the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. This study assesses the diagnostic potential of long-read sequencing (LRS) in three patients with SMA. For Patient 1, who has a heterozygous SMN1 deletion, LRS unveiled a missense mutation in SMN1 exon 5. In Patient 2, an Alu/Alu-mediated...
