Tissue: human genomic DNA.
Application: research on protein C deficiency.
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P265 PROC is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the in PROC gene, which is associated with protein C deficiency.
Protein C deficiency is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait that is associated with an increased risk of venous thrombosis. A very rare severe homozygous (or compound heterozygous) form of protein C deficiency was first described as a cause of neonatal purpura fulminans, resulting in rapid death caused by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
Protein C (PROC) is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease zymogen. Purified human activated protein C selectively destroys factors Va and VIII in human plasma and thus has an important anticoagulant role. Regulatory DNA elements responsible for PROC gene expression have been identified in the upstream promoter region and first (untranslated) exon of the PROC gene.
SALSA MLPA Probemix P265 PROC 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.
