description <h2>Background</h2><p dir="ltr">Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations and deletions in SMN1 at exon 7. The carrier frequency for SMN1 mutations ranges from 2 to 4% in the general population.</p><h2>Methods</h2><p dir="ltr">We examined allelic, genotypic relatedness and copy number (CN) variations and frequencies of SMN1 and SMN2, in 13,426 samples from Qatar biobank (QBB) to provide a precise estimation of SMA carrier frequency in Qatar in comparison to other populations.</p><h2>Results</h2><p dir="ltr">The SMA carrier frequency was found to be (2.8%) and the rs143838139 was found in 491/13426 (3.66%) of individuals. The SNP rs121909192, which is a pathogenic risk factor, was found in 321/13500 (2.38%). In Addition 242/11379 (2.13%) had two copies of SMN1 and the rs143838139, which may explain the (2 + 0) silent carrier. Additionally, two participants were found to be SMA type 4 with 0 and 4 copy numbers in SMN1 and SMN2, respectively.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p dir="ltr">The SMA carrier frequency in Qatar was found to be comparable to Saudi Arabia and Caucasians. The likely pathogenic variant, rs121909192, was found to be significantly higher when compering with other in our study. The rs143838139 variant, which has a strong association with the silent carrier genotype, has been found. Consequently, testing for this SNP may enhance the precision of evaluating the likelihood of a patient having an affected child. We conclude that the frequency of SMA carriers varies within the Qatar population and other ethnic groups.</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/mgg3.2184" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1002/mgg3.2184</a></p>
