For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P058 IGHMBP2 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the IGHMBP2 gene, which is associated with spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD1).
SMARD1, also known as distal spinal muscular atrophy 1 (DSMA1) or distal hereditary motor neuropathies type 6 (dHMN6), is a rare autosomal recessive motor neuron disorder that affects infants and is characterised by diaphragmatic palsy, distal muscular weakness, and muscle atrophy. The disease is caused by mutations in the gene encoding immunoglobulin μ-binding protein 2 (IGHMBP2).
'Distal' SMA (DSMA1) is distinguished from 'proximal' autosomal recessive spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) by the primary muscles involved. Like the SMN1 gene, which is mutated in SMA, IGHMBP2 colocalises with the RNA-processing machinery in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. IGHMBP2 and SMN1 share common functions important to motor neuron maintenance and integrity in mammals. IGHMBP2 is the second gene found to be defective in SMA (Grohmann et al. 2001).
SALSA MLPA Probemix P058 IGHMBP2 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.
