Contents: P011 VWF mix 1 and P012 VWF mix 2 together contain 74 MLPA probes, including 56 probes for the VWF gene.
Tissue: human genomic DNA.
Application: research on von Willebrand Disease (vWD).
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P011/P012 VWF is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the VWF gene, which is associated with von Willebrand Disease (vWD).
vWD is the most common hereditary coagulation abnormality described in humans. vWD is caused by a deficiency of von Willebrand factor (vWF), a blood glycoprotein which mediates the interaction of platelets with damaged endothelial surfaces at sites of vascular injury. vWF also acts as the carrier for factor VIIIC, thus increasing the half-life of VIIIC in the circulation. Furthermore, the vWF protein is involved in a number of other diseases, including thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, Heyde's syndrome, and possibly hemolytic-uremic syndrome.

SALSA MLPA Probemix P011 VWF mix 1 is for research use only (RUO) in all territories.
A general SALSA MLPA Reagent Kit is required for MLPA experiments (to be ordered separately).

Inclusion of a positive sample is usually not required, but can be useful for the analysis of your experiments. MRC Holland has very limited access to positive samples and cannot supply such samples. We recommend using positive samples from your own collection. Alternatively, you can use positive samples from an online biorepository, such as the Coriell Institute.
We have no information about specific commercially available positive samples that can be used with this product.
