SMA is associated with homozygous deletion of exon 7 in the SMN1 gene. Recently developed drugs can improve the motor functions of infants with SMA when they are treated in the pre-symptomatic stage. With aim of providing an early diagnosis, newborn screening (NBS) for SMA using a real-time PCR assay with dried blood spots (DBS) was performed from January 2022 through November 2022 in Saint Petersburg, which is a representative Russian megapolis. Here, 36,140 newborns were screened by the GenomeX real-time PCR-based screening test, and three genotypes were identified: homozygous deletion carriers (4 newborns), heterozygous carriers (772 newborns), and wild-type individuals (35,364 newborns). The disease status of all four newborns that screened positive for the homozygous SMN1 deletion was confirmed by alternate methods. Two of the newborns had two copies of SMN2, and two of the newborns had three copies. We determined the incidence of spinal muscular atrophy in Saint Petersburg to be 1 in 9035 and the SMA carrier frequency to be 1 in 47. In conclusion, providing timely information regarding SMN1, confirmation of disease status, and SMN2 copy number as part of the SMA newborn-screening algorithm can significantly improve clinical follow-up, testing of family members, and treatment of patients with SMA.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijns10010009","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,25]],"date-time":"2024-01-25T10:32:38Z","timestamp":1706178758000},"page":"9","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Establishment of a Pilot Newborn Screening Program for Spinal Muscular Atrophy in Saint Petersburg"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2487-2423","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anton","family":"Kiselev","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genomic Medicine Named after V.S.
