For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P350 CLCN1-KCNJ2 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the CLCN1 and KCNJ2 genes, which are associated with Becker disease, Thomsen disease, and Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS).
Myotonia congenita is characterised by muscle stiffness and delayed relaxation after muscle contraction (myotonia). Myotonia congenita is inherited in either an autosomal recessive (Becker disease) or an autosomal dominant manner (Thomsen disease). Thomsen disease is less common and less severe than Becker disease. Defects in the CLCN1 gene on chromosome 7 are the main cause of myotonia congenita. The protein encoded by this gene is a chloride voltage-gated channel, important in controlling the influx of chloride ions into skeletal muscle cells.
ATS is an autosomal dominant multisystem channelopathy characterised by periodic paralysis, ventricular arrhythmias and dysmorphic facial or skeletal features. Defects in the KCNJ2 gene on chromosome 17 are the main cause of ATS. The protein encoded by this gene is inward rectifier potassium channel 2 (Kir2.1), important in controlling the (in)flux of potassium ions into skeletal and cardiac muscle cells.

SALSA MLPA Probemix P350 CLCN1-KCNJ2 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.
