As it is the leading inherited cause of infant mortality, identification of SMN gene pathogenic variant carriers is important for diagnostic purposes with effective genetic counseling. Multiple ligation probe analysis (MLPA), a probe-based method, is considered as the gold standard for SMA carrier analysis. However, MLPA might give false-negative results in cases with variations in the probe-binding regions. Here, we present a case born to consanguineous SMA carrier parents. Prenatal diagnosis with MLPA failed to detect the compound heterozygous mutant state of the proband and she was born unfortunately with SMA phenotype. Further analysis with a real-time polymerase chain reaction kit was able to detect the compound heterozygous state of the patient and was confirmed with targeted next-generation sequencing technology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1774307","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,31]],"date-time":"2023-08-31T22:55:08Z","timestamp":1693522508000},"page":"240-246","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Lessons
