SALSA MLPA Probemix P098 Wilson disease detects copy number variations of the ATP7B gene.
Contents: 41 MLPA probes, including 33 probes for ATP7B of which 5 probes detect the wild-type sequences of the c.2333G>T (R778L), c.2621C>T (A874V), c.3207C>A (H1069Q), c.3809A>G (N1270S) and c.-441_427del15 (15BP-DEL) mutations.
Tissue: human genomic DNA.
Application: research on Wilson disease.
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P098 Wilson disease is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the ATP7B gene, which is associated with Wilson disease. This probemix can also be used to detect the presence of the R778L (c.2333G>T), A874V (c.2621C>T), H1069Q (c.3207C>A) and N1270S (c.3809A>G) point mutations, and the c.-441_427del15 mutation (15BP-DEL).
Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disorder characterised by dramatic build-up of intracellular copper. Clinical features include liver disease, neurological problems and psychiatric disturbance. Wilson disease is mainly caused by missense mutations and small deletions and insertions in the ATP7B gene (Bandmann et al. 2015). The gene product is a member of the P-type cation transport ATPase family and plays an important role in transporting copper from the liver to other parts of the body (Bandmann et al. 2015). Wilson disease-causing mutations have a reduced penetrance and, although it was believed that the birth genetic prevalence of this disease is about 1:30000, new studies with different methodologies have estimated a significantly higher prevalence, of about 1:7000 (Gao et al. 2019).

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 (E1) version of this product.
