General information

The SALSA MLPA Probemix P336 UBE3A is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the UBE3A gene, which is associated with Angelman syndrome (AS).

AS is a maternally inherited neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability, ataxia, epilepsy, minimal speech, and characteristic behavioural features. Defects in the UBE3A gene on chromosome 15q11.2 is one of the causes of AS. The protein encoded by this gene is ubiquitin protein ligase E3A, a part of the ubiquitin protein degradation system. AS individuals fail to inherit a normal active maternal copy of UBE3A. UBE3A is subject to genomic imprinting, with predominant transcription of the maternal allele in brain.

Besides or along with mutations in the UBE3A gene, other known genetic causes of AS are maternal deletion of chromosome 15q11-q13, paternal chromosome 15 uniparental disomy, and 15q11 imprinting defects. Maternal duplications of 15q11-q13 lead to a distinct condition that often includes autism (Stewart et al. 2011, Hogart et al. 2009). An AS-like phenotype might be caused by aberrations in the MTHFR gene. Moreover, there has been evidence for linkage of 16p13 to autism (Liu et al. 2012, IMGSAC 2001).

Positive samples

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.
