SALSA MLPA Probemix P418 MYH7 detects copy number variations in the MYH7 gene.
Contents: 46 MLPA probes, including 37 probes for MYH7.
Tissue: human genomic DNA.
Application: research on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P418 MYH7 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the MYH7 gene, which is associated with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM).
HCM is characterised by a cardiovascular disease with autosomal dominant inheritance. HCM is caused by defects in the genes coding for structural and/or regulatory proteins found in the sarcomere of cardiomyocytes. In ~20% of HCM patients, mutations in the MYH7 gene on chromosome 14q11 are found. This gene encodes the beta heavy chain subunit of cardiac myosin.

SALSA MLPA Probemix P418 MYH7 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.
