SALSA MLPA Probemix P478 SMARCE1 is a research use only (RUO) assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in the SMARCE1 gene, which is associated with familial meningioma and Coffin-Siris syndrome.
Meningiomas are slow-growing tumours that stem from the meninges. They are the most commonly occurring intracranial neoplasms, accounting for up to 30% of all brain tumours (Starr and Cha, 2017). The SMARCE1 (Homo sapiens SWI/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily e, member 1) gene encodes a component of the SWI/SNF complex, which modulates eukaryotic gene expression and DNA repair via nucleosome remodelling. Heterozygous SMARCE1 loss-of-function mutations have been linked to familial meningioma (MIM number 607174). Partial deletions of SMARCE1 and loss of its expression have been described in spinal meningioma tissue suggesting a tumour suppressor function of this gene (Smith et al. 2013; Smith et al. 2014). Germline mutations in members of SWI/SNF complex, including SMARCE1, have been described also in Coffin-Siris syndrome (MIM number 616938) (Tsurusaki et al. 2014).

SALSA MLPA Probemix P478 SMARCE1 is for research use only (RUO) in all territories.
A general SALSA MLPA Reagent Kit is required for MLPA experiments (to be ordered separately).
These optional accessories can 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 (A2) version of this product.
