Application: research on Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome (AGS).
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P388 AGS is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the TREX1, RNASEH2B, RNASEH2C, RNASEH2A, and SAMHD1 genes, which are associated with Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome (AGS).
AGS is a genetically determined encephalopathy, characterised by calcification of the basal ganglia and white matter, demyelination and raised levels of lymphocytes in the cerebrospinal fluid. AGS is a heterogeneous disorder. To date mutations in several genes are linked to AGS, including TREX1, RNASEH2B, RNASEH2C, RNASEH2A, and SAMHD1. These are known as AGS1, AGS2, AGS3, AGS4 and AGS5, respectively. More recently, two additional genes (ADAR1 and IFIH1) have been described in AGS patients. Probes for these genes are not present in this probemix.

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.
