Abstract excerpt
All three types of autosomal recessive spinal muscular atrophy map to chromosome 5q11.2-q13.3 and are associated with deletions or mutations of the SMN (survival motor neurone) gene. The availability of a test to distinguish between the SMN gene and its nearly identical centromeric copy cBCD541 allows molecular diagnosis. We have analysed patients from 24 Belgian and 34 Turkish families for the presence or...
