The SALSA MLPA Probemix P243 SERPING1-F12 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the SERPING1 and F12 genes, which are associated with hereditary angioedema (HAE).
HAE is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by episodic local subcutaneous and submucosal oedema, involving the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. There are three types of HAE: type I, II, and III, which can be distinguished by underlying genetic cause and protein levels in the blood. HAE types I and II are primarily caused by defects in the SERPING1 gene, encoding the C1 esterase inhibitor protein (C1NH), which inhibits activated C1r and C1s of the first complement component and thus regulates complement activation. In type I HAE, representing 85% of patients, serum levels of C1NH drop to less than 35%. In contrast, type II HAE is caused by non-functionality of the SERPING1 gene, leaving protein levels normal or even elevated. The SERPING1 gene is not involved in type III HAE, leaving the function and concentration of C1NH unaltered. Although type III is not fully explained, at least part of these patients harbour activating mutations in the F12 (factor 12) gene.
SALSA MLPA Probemix P243 SERPING1 - F12 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.
