Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to primers, probes and application methods for human spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) gene screening. Background technique
[0002] Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a group of autosomal recessive genetic diseases characterized by degeneration of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord. The clinical manifestations are progressive and symmetrical proximal limb and trunk muscles. Weakness, atrophy and paralysis, the incidence rate of newborns is 1 / 6000-1 / 10000, and the incidence rate of gene carriers in the normal population is 1 / 40-1 / 60, ranking second among fatal autosomal recessive genetic diseases , second only to cystic fibrosis.
[0003] According to the age of onset and clinical manifestations, SMA can be divided into four types: (1) Type I SMA (acute type): Onset within 6 months after birth, generalized muscle weakness, hypotonia, children cannot sit and sta...
