Abstract excerpt
The candidate region for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) has been defined as a 750 kb interval on 5q13. In this study, we performed allelic association studies in 154 German SMA families with the multicopy markers Ag1-CA (D5S1556); C212 (D5F149S1/S2) and correlated genotype data with deletion of candidate genes. Both multicopy markers recognize 0-3 alleles pro chromosome. Deletions were detected for all copies of...
