The SALSA MLPA Probemix P319 Thyroid is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in TPO, PAX8, FOXE1, NKX2-1 and TSHR genes, which are associated with thyroid dysgenesis.
Thyroid dysgenesis (TD) accounts for most cases of congenital hypothyroidism. TD is generally a sporadic disease and in most cases the cause is unknown. Occasional familial occurrence and a difference in prevalence of TD between males vs. females, between ethnicities, and in patients with Down syndrome all suggest genetic factors may play a role in some patients. Mutations in genes playing a role during thyroid morphogenesis (TPO, PAX8, FOXE1, NKX2-1, TSHR amongst others) have been reported.
The TPO gene (17 exons) spans ~129 kb of genomic DNA and is located on 2p25.3, ~1.4 Mb from the p-telomere. The PAX8 gene (10 exons) spans ~63 kb of genomic DNA and is located on 2q13, ~114 Mb from the p-telomere. The FOXE1 gene (1 exon) spans ~4 kb of genomic DNA and is located on 9q22.33, ~100 Mb from the p-telomere. The NKX2-1 gene (3 exons) spans ~4 kb of genomic DNA and is located on 14q13.3, ~36 Mb from the p-telomere. The TSHR gene (10 exons) spans ~191 kb of genomic DNA and is located on 14q31.1, ~81 Mb from the p-telomere.

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 (B2) version of this product.
