The SALSA MLPA Probemix P057 FANCD2-PALB2 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the FANCD2 and PALB2 genes, which are associated with Fanconi Anemia (FA).
FA is an autosomal recessive disorder affecting all bone marrow elements and associated with cardiac, renal, and limb malformations as well as with dermal pigmentary changes. Several FA-associated genes have been identified so far, the products of which function in the FA/BRCA pathway. A key event in the pathway is the monoubiquitination of the FANCD2 protein, which depends on a multiprotein FA core complex. Defects in the FANCD2 gene are one of the possible causes of FA. The FANCD2 gene (44 exons) spans ~73 kb of genomic DNA and is located on chromosome 3p25.3, about 10 Mb from the p-telomere.
FA has also been linked to defects in the PALB2 gene. It was shown that mutations in PALB2 result in an increased susceptibility to breast cancer, that biallelic mutations cause Fanconi anemia subtype FA-N, and predispose to childhood cancers. PALB2 mutations have also been detected in approximately 3% of familial pancreatic cancer families, especially those families in which also breast cancer cases occur (Slater et al. 2010). The PALB2 gene spans ~38 kb of genomic DNA and is located on chromosome 16p12.1, about 24 Mb from the p-telomere.

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.
