SALSA MLPA Probemix P431 FOXF1 detects copy number variations in the FOXF1 gene, the 16q24.1 chromosomal region, and the MYCN gene.
Contents: 38 MLPA probes, including 25 probes for the FOX gene cluster (including probes for FOXF1, FOXC2 and FOXL1), and 5 probes for MYCN.
Tissue: human genomic DNA.
Application: research on alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACD/MPV), and Feingold syndrome (FS).
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P431 FOXF1 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the FOXF1 gene, the 16q24.1 chromosomal region, and the MYCN gene, which are associated with Alveolar Capillary Dysplasia with Misalignment of Pulmonary Veins (ACD/MPV) and Feingold syndrome (FS) respectively.
ACD/MPV is a rare, neonatal and lethal development disorder of the lungs. In patients with ACD/MPV, Stankiewicz et al. identified four different heterozygous mutations in the candidate FOXF1 gene and overlapping micro-deletions encompassing the FOX transcription factor gene cluster on chromosome 16q24.1. (Stankiewicz P et al. 2009, Am J Hum Genet. 84:780-91). In addition, deletions in either a shared deletion region (SDR) of 75 kb, located 257 kb upstream of FOXF1, and a 0.8 kb deletion within the 1.4 kb intron 1 of FOXF1 have been found (Szafranski P et al. 2013, Genome Res. 23:23-33; Szafranski P et al. 2013, Hum Mut. 11:1467-71).
FS is a rare autosomal dominant inherited condition that is characterised by microcephaly, limb malformations, esophageal atresia, and other malformations. Defects (haploinsufficiency, mutations, (micro)deletions) in the MYCN proto-oncogene on chromosome 2p24.3 is the main cause of FS. The MYCN gene is a member of the MYC family and encodes the transcriptional regulator N-myc regulating many target genes involved in the cell cycle.

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.
