The SALSA MLPA Probemix P183 EDA-EDAR-EDARADD is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the genes EDA, EDAR, EDARADD and WNT10A, which are associated with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED).
X-linked HED (XLHED) is the most common form of ectodermal dysplasia (ED) in humans, with an incidence of approximately 1 per 100,000 births. This syndrome is characterised by absence or aberrant development of exocrine sweat glands, leading to heat intolerance with excessively dry skin, abnormal spiky or absent teeth and sparse hair on the scalp and body. These structures are affected together or in different combinations. It has been shown that mutations of the X-linked EDA gene are the major causative factor for this disorder. EDA encodes the ectodysplasin A (EDA) protein, which has been recognised as a member of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. EDAR encodes the ectodysplasin A receptor. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal dominant and recessive forms of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. EDARADD encodes the EDAR-associated death domain protein which is also involved in ectodermal dysplasia. WNT10A belongs to the WNT gene family, which encodes secreted signalling proteins.
The EDA (ED1) gene (8 exons) spans ~423 kb of genomic DNA and is located on Xq13.1, 69 Mb from the p-telomere. The EDAR gene (12 exons) spans ~95 kb of genomic DNA and is located on 2q13, 109 Mb from the p-telomere. The EDARADD gene (6 exons) spans ~91 kb of genomic DNA and is located on 1q43, 235 Mb from the p-telomere. The WNT10A gene (4 exons) spans ~13 kb of genomic DNA and is located on 2q35, 219 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.
The commercially available positive samples below can be used with the current (C1) version of this product.
