Application: research on Pitt-Hopkins-like syndrome.
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P379 NRXN1 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the NRXN1 gene, which is associated with Pitt-Hopkins-like syndrome 2.
Pitt-Hopkins-like syndrome 2 is characterised by intellectual disability, wide mouth and distinctive facial features, and intermittent hyperventilation/overbreathing. This syndrome is caused by defects in the NRXN1 gene on chromosome 2p16.3. Neurexin 1 protein is encoded by the NRXN1 gene. Neurexins, including Neurexin 1, are cell-surface receptors that bind neuroligins at synapses in the central nervous system. This transsynaptic complex is required for efficient neurotransmission and is involved in the formation of synaptic contacts.
SALSA MLPA Probemix P379 NRXN1 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.
