Comprehensive <i>SMN1</i> and <i>SMN2</i> profiling for spinal muscular atrophy analysis using long-read PacBio HiFi sequencing

2022-10-21

Abstract excerpt

Spinal muscular atrophy, a leading cause of early infant death, is caused by biallelic mutations of the SMN1 gene. Sequence analysis of SMN1 is challenging due to high sequence similarity with its paralog SMN2 . Both genes have variable copy numbers across populations. Furthermore, without pedigree information, it is impossible to identify silent carriers (2+0) with two copies of SMN1 on one chromosome and zer...
