The SALSA MLPA Probemix P454 CGD is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the CYBA, CYBB, NCF2 and NCF4 genes, which are associated with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD).
Patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) suffer from recurrent, life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections of skin, airways, lymph nodes, liver, brain and/or bones. CGD is a rare (∼1:250 000 births) recessive disorder caused by mutations in any one of the five components of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase in phagocytes. This enzyme generates superoxide and is essential for intracellular killing of pathogens by phagocytes. The genes encoding the five NADPH oxidase components are CYBB (located on the X-chromosome), and the autosomal genes CYBA, NCF1, NCF2 and NCF4. Approximately 70% of the CGD patients have a mutation in CYBB. The remainder of the patients have mutations in NCF1 (~ 20%), in CYBA (~ 5%) or in NCF2 (~ 5%). Only one patient with NCF4 mutations has been reported (Matute et al. 2009). Copy number variations account for approximately 15% of pathogenic variants in each of the CYBA, CYBB and NCF2 genes.

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.
