The SALSA MLPA Probemix P278 PCCA-PCCB is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the PCCA and PCCB genes, which are associated with propionic acidemia.
Propionic acidemia (PA) is an autosomal recessive disorder. PA is a disease with a wide clinical spectrum, and can include growth impairment, intellectual disability, seizures, basal ganglia lesions, pancreatitis, and cardiomyopathy. Other rarely reported complications include optic atrophy, hearing loss, premature ovarian insufficiency, and chronic renal failure. The worldwide incidence of PA is estimated to be 1 in 50.000 to 100.000 live births and higher in some specific populations.
PA is caused by deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) that catalyzes the conversion of propionyl-CoA to methylmalonyl-CoA. The enzyme PCC is composed of α- and β-subunits which are encoded by the PCCA and PCCB genes localized on chromosomes 13q32.3 and 3q22.3, respectively. Missense mutations are predominant in PCC genes. Exon deletions account for ~20% of PCCA disease-causing alleles, while only three large deletions in PCCB have been described causing PA (Chiu et al. 2014, Desviat et al. 2006, Kraus et al. 2012).

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 (D1) version of this product.
