Targeted Genetic Screening Useful in Diagnosing Patients with SMA-like Symptoms
Targeted next generation sequencing (NGS) — a powerful genetics method that can identify mutations in several genes simultaneously — may help diagnose people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)-like symptoms who do not carry SMA-causative mutations, a Japanese study shows. This low-cost, non-invasive, fast, and efficient approach might be…
