The CarrierMax SMN1/SMN2 Reagent Kit uses multiplex PCR amplification of genomic DNA and capillary electrophoresis to detect deletions in exon 7 of the Survival of Motor Neuron 1 (SMN1) gene that result in truncated SMN protein. In addition, the kit detects two variants associated with the silent carrier (2+0) haplotype. The results are processed with GeneMapper Software in conjunction with included CarrierMAX Software to consolidate data and simplify carrier classifications in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) carrier screening research.
