Contents: 33 MLPA probes, including 18 probes for DCLRE1C (covering all exons), 3 probes for MEIG1 and 2 probes for DCLRE1CP1.
Tissue: human genomic DNA.
Application: research on radiosensitive severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), and radiosensitive Omenn syndrome.
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P368 DCLRE1C is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the DCLRE1C, MEIG1, and DCLRE1CP1 genes, which are associated with radiosensitive Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) or radiosensitive Omenn syndrome.
The nuclease ARTEMIS (encoded by DCLRE1C, DNA crosslink repair 1C) is an essential factor in the process of V(D)J recombination and an important component of the nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway. Patients with mutations in the DCLRE1C gene suffer from radiosensitive Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) or radiosensitive Omenn syndrome.
Pannicke et al. (2010) found that by far the most frequent mutations (59%) were gross deletions of exons 1-3 or 1-4, due to homologous recombination of the wild-type DCLRE1C gene with the DCLRE1CP1 gene, located 62.5 kilobases (kb) upstream of DCLRE1C. MEIG1 located between the gene and pseudogene is lost by these gross deletions.
SALSA MLPA Probemix P368 DCLRE1C 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.
