We aimed to evaluate the copy number variation in NAIP and SMN2: c.859G>C and A-44G variants as disease modifiers and their correlation with the SMA phenotype. Based on the motor milestones achieved, patients with homozygous deletion of SMN1 exon 7 were classified into SMA Types I-IV. The copy numbers of SMN1 exon 8, SMN2, and NAIP were...
