Application: research on Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS).
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P313 CREBBP is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of copy number variations in the CREBBP and EP300 genes, which are associated with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS; OMIM 180849).
RSTS is a well-defined multiple congenital anomalies / intellectual disability syndrome characterised by postnatal growth deficiency, microcephaly, specific facial characteristics, broad thumbs and big toes, and intellectual disability. It occurs generally sporadic, and can be caused by a microdeletion of chromosome 16p13.3, or by a mutation in either CREB-binding protein (CREBBP) or the E1A-binding protein (EP300). Birth prevalence is 1 in 100.000–125.000.
Most individuals with RSTS have point mutations in the CREBBP or the EP300 gene, most of which will not be detected by the MLPA technique. Partial or complete deletions and duplications of the CREBBP gene have also been described (Roelfsema et al. 2005). Please note that this P313 probemix is different from the probemix that was used by Roelfsema et al.

SALSA MLPA Probemix P313 CREBBP 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.
