SALSA MLPA Probemix P340 EHMT1 detects copy number variations in the EHMT1 gene.
Contents: 42 MLPA probes, including 30 probes for EHMT1.
Tissue: human genomic DNA.
Application: research on Kleefstra syndrome (KS).
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P340 EHMT1 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the EHMT1 gene. The EHMT1 gene (27 exons) spans ~217 kb of genomic DNA and is located on chromosome 9q34.3, ~139 Mb from the p-telomere.
Kleefstra syndrome (KS) is characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, hypotonia and distinct facial features. Additional clinical features include congenital heart defects, cerebral abnormalities, urogenital defects and weight gain. The syndrome is caused by a microdeletion in chromosomal region 9q34.3 (in 85% of cases) or by a mutation in the EHMT1 gene coding for euchromatin histone methyltransferase 1. The prenatal phenotype has not yet been characterized.

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.
