92002-5
LaboratorySMN1 gene [Cycle Threshold #] in DBS by NAA with probe detection
Definition
The number of cycles at which the SNM1 gene was detected using real-time PCR. If the maximum number of cycles is reached without detection of the gene, this indicates the absence of SNM1 and requires follow-up evaluation for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
