We postulated that the difference in the promoter region of SMN2 gene might produce the different level of FL-SMN protein in SMA patients. To verify this hypothesis, the DNA samples of 69 SMA patients were analyzed forSMN1 deletion followed by the SMN2 copy no. analysis and NAIP deletion analysis to remove any clinical bias. Based on the bioinformatics analysis and the designed primers, PCR amplification was done for different regions in promoter of the SMN2 gene in SMA patients (n=10) followed by direct DNA sequencing. The molecular analysis confirmed the absence of any variation in the promoter region of the SMN2 gene between normal healthy individuals (n=2) and SMA patients. To the best of our knowledge, this is first study analyzing the promoter region of SMN2 gene in all clinical types of SMA. 3 8 131-144
