Technical feasibility of newborn screening for spinal muscular atrophy by next-generation DNA sequencing

Newborn screening (NBS) assays for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) typically use a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based assay to identify individuals with homozygous deletion in exon 7 of the SMN1 gene. Due to high DNA sequence homology between SMN1 and SMN2, it has previously been difficult to accur...
