SALSA MLPA Probemix P079 OTC detects copy number variations in the OTC gene.
Contents: 20 MLPA probes, including 10 probes for OTC (covering all exons).
Tissue: human genomic DNA.
Application: research on ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD).
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P079 OTC is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the OTC gene, which is associated with Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency (OTCD).
OTCD is characterized by a frequent inborn error of the urea cycle, a partially dominant X-linked trait causing hyperammonemia and orotic aciduria. Missense, nonsense, and frameshift mutations in the gene ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OTC) lead to OTCD. The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial matrix enzyme that catalyses the second step of the urea cycle in mammals. Severe deficiency or total absence of OTC results in the accumulation of ammonia and other precursor metabolites during the first few days of life.

SALSA MLPA Probemix P079 OTC 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.
