Contents: 41 MLPA probes including 31 probes for EP300 (covering all exons), and 1 probe for CREBBP.
Tissue: human genomic DNA.
Application: research on Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS).
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P333 EP300 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the EP300 gene, which is associated with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS).
RSTS is characterised by growth retardation, distinctive facial dysmorphisms, skeletal abnormalities such as broad and often angulated thumbs, and intellectual disability. RSTS is caused by mutations in two genes: EP300, encoding E1A-associated protein p300, and CREBBP, encoding a CREB-binding protein. Approximately, 3-8% of RSTS individuals carry heterozygous mutations in EP300, while pathogenic variants in CREBBP are identified in approximately 50-60% of RSTS patients.

SALSA MLPA Probemix P333 EP300 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.
