The methods provided herein allow for the detection of silent (2+0) carriers of SMA, where the individual has a deletion of the SMN1 gene on one chromosome 5 homolog and two or more copies of the SMN1 gene on the other chromosome 5 homolog.DAVID A. HILL...
It is difficult to imagine what sort of selective advantage silent mutations in coding or non-coding regions of the mtDNA may confer to the carrier mt-genome. Therefore, to explain tumor hetero- or homoplasmy for silent mutations through hypothesis “(a)”, we must assume that the same mtDN...
minimize the effect of variable weather conditions. The measurements at most of the sites were continuous for 72 hours. The sampling rate is 30 seconds. The GPS data used in this study were analyzed with the GIPSY software (Lichten and Border, 1987) which uses both carrier phase and ...
located on the telomeric portion of chromosome 5q. A nearly identical centromeric copy of the gene (SMN2) also produces a small amount of full-length SMN protein, but due to a translationally silent C-T transition that results in alternative splicing of the pre-mRNA, most of the resulting...

The method provided herein is a silent method of SMA in which an individual has a deletion of the SMN1 gene on one chromosome 5 homolog and two or more copies of the SMN1 gene on the other chromosome 5 homologue 2 + 0) carriers can be detected.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONヒル,デーヴ...
Problem to be solved: to provide a method and a composition for detecting silent carriers of a chromosomal deletion allele in a human subject of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).Methods and compositions are provided for detecting silent carriers of chromosomal deletion alleles in human subjects using ...
. The method provided herein comprises a silent SMA (in which an individual has a deletion of the SMN1 gene on one chromosome 5 homolog and two or more copies of the SMN1 gene on the other chromosome 5 homolog). 2 + 0) Carrier detection is possible. [Selection] Figure 1ヒル,デーヴ...
The methods provided herein comprise quantitative nucleic acid amplification reactions and determination of a ratio of a target gene to a reference gene, and indicate that a subject is a silent carrier of a null allele corresponding to the target gene if the ratio is at or below a threshold ...
