SALSA MLPA Probemix P049 SLC6A8 - ABCD1 detects copy number variations in the SLC6A8 and ABCD1 genes, and in the Xq28 chromosomal region.
Contents: 43 MLPA probes, including 9 probes for SLC6A8, 9 probes for ABCD1 and 16 probes for the Xq28 chromosomal region.
Tissue: human genomic DNA.
Application: research on X-linked creatine deficiency syndrome, X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), and X-linked hydrocephalus.
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P049 SLC6A8-ABCD1 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the SLC6A8 gene, the ABCD1 gene and the Xq28 chromosomal region.
Defects in the SLC6A8 gene, encoding the X-linked creatine transporter, are a relatively frequent cause of intellectual disability in males. Several other genes located at a short distance from SLC6A8 have also been implicated in neurological syndromes, including L1CAM (X-linked hydrocephalus, this probemix), MECP2 (RETT syndrome; P015 probemix), FLNA (lissencephaly; P061 probemix) and ABCD1 (X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy; this probemix).
Defects in the ABCD1 gene result in adrenoleukodystrophy due to defective peroxisomal beta oxidation and the accumulation of the saturated very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) in all tissues of the body. The manifestations of the disorder occur primarily in the adrenal cortex, in the myelin of the central nervous system, and in the Leydig cells of the testes.

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 (C2) version of this product.
