Long-read sequencing identifies copy-specific markers of<i>SMN</i>gene conversion in spinal muscular atrophy
2024-07-16
Abstract excerpt
The complex 2 Mb survival motor neuron (SMN) locus on chromosome 5q13, including the spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)-causing gene SMN1 and modifier SMN2 , remains incompletely resolved due to numerous segmental duplications. Variation in SMN2 copy number, presumably influenced by SMN1 to SMN2 gene conversion, affects disease severity, though SMN2 copy number alone has insufficient prognostic value due to limited gen...
