Abstract
In SMA, unusual findings such as deletions restricted only to SMN1 exon 8, inspite of honozygous SMN1 exons 7-8 deletions in the family, may obscure final diagnosis. Application of a modified PCR procedure allowed discrimination between a deletion or a gene conversion event in a case of prenatal diagnosis.Entities:
