Comprehensive analysis across SMN2 excludes DNA methylation as an epigenetic biomarker for spinal muscular atrophy
17 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe neurodegenerative disease caused by defects in the survival motor neuron 1 ( SMN1 ) gene. Although disease severity partially correlates with SMN2 copy number, significant variability in disease severity and treatment response remains unexplained, prompting a search for additional biomarkers. Using native, long-read nanopore and targeted short-read bisulfite sequencing,...
