The SALSA MLPA Probemix P302 Medulloblastoma mix 2 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the chromosomes 2, 3, 7 and 9, which are thought to be associated with medulloblastoma.
Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common paediatric primary central nervous system (CNS) tumour and accounts for between 15% and 20% of CNS tumours in patients under the age of 20. It is a highly invasive embryonal neuroepithelial tumour that arises in the cerebellum and has a tendency to disseminate throughout the CNS early in its course. Overall survival is 50-60% at five years, although this decreases to 30% in the longer term due to local recurrence and/or metastasis. There are four distinct molecular subtypes of MB (WNT, sonic hedgehog (SHH), Group 3, and Group 4) which can be used for patient risk stratification and that have the potential to identify new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of MB (Taylor et al. 2012). These molecular subtypes of MB include also characteristic and recurrent copy number alterations, which are covered by the P301, P302 and P303 Medulloblastoma probemixes.
SALSA MLPA Probemix P302 Medulloblastoma mix 2 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.
See this support article for commercially available positive samples that can be used with this product.
