Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a fatal neuromuscular disorder primarily attributed to the homozygous deletion of the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene, with disease severity closely correlated to the copy number variations (CNV) of SMN2. Conventional methodologies, however, fail to provide a comprehensive gene overview of SMN and are often both time-intensive and costly. In this study, we present a novel...
