Methods PCR and PCR - enzyme methods were used to detect the deletions of NAIP gene exon 5 and 6 and SMN gene exon 7 and 8 in 15 SMA ( ) patients, 20 healthy relatives and 30 normal controls. Results Deletions of exon 7 and 8 of the telomeric SMN gene were 4/ 4, 2/ 3, 1/ 8 in Type,, SMA patients, respectively. One patient with Type lacked exon 7 but retained exon 8. No deletion was found in the controls (0/ 50). No deletion of exon 5 and 6 of the NAIP gene was detected in the patients, healthy relatives and controls. Conclusions Deletions of SMN gene exon 7 and 8 examined by PCR - enzyme digestion could be recommended as an accurate gene diagnostic method for SMA with Type and. However, the method was not as useful in Type as in and for the diagnosis of SMA. lower in Chinese SMA patients.
