The SALSA MLPA Probemix P179 Limb malformations-1 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the GLI3, HOXD13, and ROR2 genes, which are associated with limb malformations, including Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome, Pallister-Hall syndrome and Robinow syndrome.
The GLI3 gene encodes a protein that belongs to the C2H2-type zinc finger proteins. Defects in the GLI3 gene cause a wide variety of phenotypes, including Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome (GCPS) and Pallister-Hall syndrome.
The HOXD13 gene encodes a transcription factor and is involved in distal limb patterning. Four types of HOXD13 mutations are associated with distinct phenotypes. Expansions in the amino-terminal polyalanine tract cause synpolydactyly (SPD), specific missense mutations cause brachydactyly type E, intragenic deletions or other missense mutations cause SPD with an additional foot phenotype, while a splice site mutation has been reported to cause only foot malformation.
The ROR2 gene encodes a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase, which is particularly important for the chondrocyte lineage. Mutations in ROR2 have been shown to result in brachydactyly type B, and in autosomal recessive Robinow syndrome.

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.
