The Molecular Genetics Subcommittee members of the ACMG Laboratory Quality Assurance Committee conducted a critical review of the 2011 technical laboratory standard and on 3 July 2020 they recommended that it be reaffirmed with the following URL updates on page 688: “The coding region for SMN can be found on Ensembl (www.ensembl.org). Proper nomenclature must be used to report any verified sequence variant (http://varnomen.hgvs.org).” The 2016 update was reaffirmed as written. The full ACMG Laboratory Quality Assurance Committee endorsed the recommendations to update and reaffirm these documents on 10 July 2020.
