Combining genetic tests may better define complex SMN gene changes in SMA, including SMN2 copy numbers and hybrid structures.

However, ES is not the first choice for detecting copy number variants (CNVs), which are typically deletions or duplications of DNA segments. CNVs cause a significant proportion of genetic disorders.
