SALSA MLPA Probemix P456 EVC EVC2 detects copy number variations in the EVC and EVC2 genes.
Contents: 52 MLPA probes, including 19 probes for EVC, and 23 probes for the EVC2 region (covering all EVC2 exons).
Tissue: human genomic DNA.
Application: research on Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, and Weyers acrodental dysostosis.
For research use only (RUO). Not for use in diagnostics.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P456-A1 EVC EVC2 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the EVC and EVC2 genes, which are associated with Ellis-van Creveld syndrome.
The Ellis-van Creveld syndrome is a skeletal dysplasia characterized by short limbs and ribs, postaxial polydactyly and dysplastic nails and teeth. Additionally, congenital cardiac defects occur in 60% of affected individuals. The EVC and EVC2 genes, located on chromosome 4p16.2 in a head-to-head configuration, encode transmembrane proteins that are involved in the Hedgehog signalling pathway, involved in cellular organization and morphology during embryogenesis. Mutations in the EVC or EVC2 gene might also cause Weyers Acrodental Dysostosis, an autosomal dominant condition, having characteristics very similar to those of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome.
SALSA MLPA Probemix P456 EVC EVC2 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.
The commercially available positive samples below can be used with the current (A1) version of this product.
