For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P326 LARGE1 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the LARGE1, FKTN and POMT2 genes. Defects in these genes are associated with forms of congenital or limb-girdle muscular dystrophy in which obstruction of O-linked glycosylation is cause of disease, collectively referred to as dystroglycanopathies (Martin 2005). Dystroglycanopathies are autosomal recessive disorders and include Walker-Warburg syndrome, muscle-eye-brain disease, Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy, congenital muscular dystrophy 1C and 1D, and limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2I. Mutations in the FKTN gene may also result in dilated cardiomyopathy without muscular dystrophic features (Murakami et al. 2006).
Although point mutations may be a more common cause of gene disfunction, intragenic deletions have been reported for LARGE1 (van Reeuwijk et al. 2007), FKTN (Hobbiebrunken et al. 2016) and POMT2 (Yanagisawa et al. 2009).

SALSA MLPA Probemix P326 LARGE1 is for research use only (RUO) in all territories.
A general SALSA MLPA Reagent Kit is required for MLPA experiments (to be ordered separately).
The prices above are list prices for direct orders from MRC Holland. Contact us for a quote that takes discounts and additional costs (such as shipping costs) into account. Different prices apply for orders through one of our sales partners; contact your local supplier for a quote.
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.
