The SALSA MLPA Probemix P117 ABCC8 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the ABCC8 gene, which is associated with familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia 1.
Familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia 1 (HHF1) is familial hyperinsulinism caused by mutations in the gene encoding the SUR1 subunit of the pancreatic beta cell inwardly rectifying potassium channel (ABCC8). Familial hyperinsulinism causes low blood glucose concentrations in infancy due to unregulated insulin release.
Mutations can be divided into two classes. Class I mutations result in the absence of the protein at the surface of the cell membrane and class II mutations cause an always closed channel at the surface of the cell membrane. The latter class gives a less severe phenotype than the former class (Flanagan et al. 2009). ATP-binding cassette, subfamily C, member 8 (ABCC8), together with the pore-forming KCNJ11, forms the pancreatic subtype of KATP channels. ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP) link membrane potential to cellular metabolism like insulin secretion and neurotransmitter release, by regulating the flux of potassium ions across the cell membrane. They are located in pancreas, heart and vascular smooth muscle tissue.
The ABCC8 gene (39 exons) spans ~84 kb of genomic DNA and is located on chromosome 11p15.1, ~17 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.
