SALSA MLPA probemixes P361 USH2A mix 1 and P362 USH2A mix 2 detect copy number variations in the USH2A gene.
Contents: P361 USH2A mix 1 and P362 USH2A mix 2 together both contain 90 MLPA probes, including 72 probes for USH2A (covering all exons).
Tissue: human genomic DNA.
Application: research on Usher syndrome type IIa, and retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P361 and P362 USH2A is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the USH2A gene.
Usher syndrome is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive disorder characterized by sensorineural hearing deficiencies at birth and later development of progressive retinitis pigmentosa (RP). It is the most frequent cause of combined deafness and blindness in adults and affects 3 to 6% of children born with hearing impairment. In brief, patients with Usher syndrome type II have mild hearing impairment with normal vestibular responses. Type II is the most common form of three Usher syndromes. Mutations within the USH2A gene have been associated with Usher syndrome type IIa and retinitis pigmentosa.

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.
