summary SMN (Survival of Motor Neuron) has two isotypes; SMN1 and SMN2 encoding for FL-SMN protein (functional SMN) and Δ7SMN protein (non functional).

The core promoter region of the SMN genes is still not identified but previous literature have shown these genes to be regulated by a 4.6 kb region up stream of the transcription start site (TSS).
