Application: research on hereditary predisposition to cancer.
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P240 BRIP1/CHEK1 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the BRIP1 and CHEK1 genes, which are associated with hereditary predisposition to cancer.
The BRIP1 gene may be a target of germline cancer-inducing mutations and has been shown to be mutated in FA-J (FANCJ) cells (Levran et al. 2005). The protein encoded by the BRIP1 gene is a member of the RecQ DEAH helicase family that interacts with the BRCT repeats of breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1). The bound complex is important in normal double-strand break repair function of BRCA1.
CHEK1 plays an essential role in the mammalian DNA damage checkpoint (G2/M DNA damage checkpoint), embryonic development, tumour suppression and is regulated by the ATR gene (Liu et al. 2000).
SALSA MLPA Probemix P240 BRIP1/CHEK1 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.
