General information

The SALSA MLPA Probemix P022 PLP1 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the PLP1 gene and the Xq22 region, which are associated with PLP1 disorders ranging from Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) to spastic paraplegia type 2 (SPG2).

PLP1 disorders are rare X-linked neurological disorders caused by pathogenic variants in the PLP1 gene and resulting in defective central nervous system myelination. The PLP1 gene encodes a transmembrane proteolipid protein that is the predominant component of myelin in the central nervous system. It may play a role in the compaction, stabilization, and maintenance of myelin sheaths, as well as in oligodendrocyte development and axonal survival. PMD (OMIM #312080) and SPG2 (OMIM #312920) are at opposite ends of the clinical spectrum of PLP1 disorders, PMD being more severe than SPG2. PMD symptoms can begin in infancy and include amongst others nystagmus, cognitive impairment, progressive spasticity, ataxia and hypotonia, with a shortened lifespan. SPG2 manifests as spastic paraparesis, usually with a normal life span.

The PLP1 gene (8 exons) spans ~16 kb of genomic DNA and is located on chromosome Xq22.2, about 103 Mb from the p-telomere. Complete duplication of the PLP1 gene can be found in up to up to 70% of the PMD cases, whereas deletions of this gene as well as point mutations in coding or splice site regions are involved in the majority of the remaining cases. Heterozygous females with a PLP1 duplication are usually asymptomatic.

Positive samples

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.

The commercially available positive samples below can be used with the current (B2) version of this product.

  • Coriell NA11005 (m): Duplication affecting the probes for BEX4, BEX2, NGFRAP1, RAB40A, TCEAL1, MORF4L2, TMEM31, GLRA4, PLP1, RAB9B and TMSB15B.
  • Coriell NA13434 (m): Deletion affecting the PLP1 exon 5 probe.
