The SALSA MLPA Probemixes P331 COL5A1 MIX-1 and P332 COL5A1 MIX-2 are a research use only (RUO) assays for the detection of deletions or duplications in the COL5A1 gene, which is associated with classic Ehlers-Danlos syndromes.
Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of heritable connective tissue disorders characterised by hyperextensible skin, articular/joint hypermobility and soft tissue fragility. The classic type of EDS, formly known as type I and II, is caused by mutations in the type V collagen genes COL5A1 and COL5A2 and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Mutations of COL5A1 account for 75-78% of classic EDS. Studies suggest that type V collagen controls the assembly of heterotypic fibres composed of type I and type V collagen as well as the assembly of other collagen types.

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.
