The dried blood spots of routine newborn screening samples will be used to test if neonates have lost 2 copies of SMN1 gene. If neonates have positive SMA screening test, further confirmation with multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) test and prospective motor function monitoring including physical and neurological examinations will be proved to make SMA confirmation.
