SALSA MLPA Probemix P036 Subtelomeres Mix 1

SALSA® MLPA® Probemix P036 Subtelomeres Mix 1 detects copy number variations in subtelomeric regions.

Specifications

Contents: 46 MLPA probes, including 41 probes for the subtelomeric regions, with the exception of the short p-arm of the 5 acrocentric chromosomes (13, 14, 15, 21 and 22). For these, an extra probe is included detecting the q-arm, close to the centromere.

Tissue: genomic DNA isolated from human peripheral whole blood, buccal swabs or specified prenatal samples (see Intended Purpose).

Application: intellectual disability, developmental delay, congenital abnormalities and/or pregnancy loss.

CE-marked and registered for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use in selected territories.

Intended purpose

The SALSA MLPA Probemix P036 Subtelomeres Mix 1 is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) or research use only (RUO) semi-quantitative assay for the detection of deletion(s) or duplication(s) in subtelomeric regions in genomic DNA isolated from human peripheral whole blood specimens, buccal swabs, (un)cultured amniotic fluid obtained in week 16 of the pregnancy or later and free from blood contamination, (un)cultured chorionic villi free from maternal contamination, fetal blood or products of conception free from maternal contamination. P036 Subtelomeres Mix 1 is intended to confirm a potential cause for and clinical diagnosis of intellectual disability, developmental delay, congenital abnormalities and/or pregnancy loss and for molecular genetic testing of at-risk family members.

It is recommended that results of P036 Subtelomeres Mix 1 are confirmed with P070 Subtelomeres Mix 2B.

For the full intended purpose, see the product description.

Clinical background

In the general population, the prevalence of intellectual disability and developmental delay is estimated at 1-3% and the prevalence of congenital anomalies at 2-3% (Castells-Sarret et al. 2017). Clinical signs can include dysmorphic features, language impairment, seizures, learning disabilities, behavioural disturbances and autism spectrum disorders. It has been recognized that worldwide the genetic etiology of individuals with non-syndromic intellectual disability remains undetermined in the majority of cases. Determining the etiology of intellectual disability and developmental delay is important and useful for pediatric neurologists, geneticists, pediatricians, and patients’ families because it allows assessment of recurrence risk, appropriate genetic counselling, and focus on treatment options and prognosis.

Aberrant copy numbers of subtelomeric regions, e.g. due to an unbalanced translocation, are a frequent cause of intellectual disability, developmental delay and/or congenital abnormalities lacking distinct syndromic features. Subtelomeric regions are more likely to be involved in copy number changes as these are less likely to be lethal due to the low amount of critical genes located in these regions. The differences in size and breakpoint location of chromosomal CNVs make the phenotype highly variable among patients, ranging from a non-viable fetus to a phenotypically normal individual. Chromosomal anomalies of the fetus are found in almost half of the miscarriages and are the most common reason for pregnancy loss (Bernatowicz et al. 2019).

Positive samples

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 have been tested with the current (E3) version of this product and have been shown to produce useful results.

  • Coriell NA00501: Heterozygous deletion affecting the probe upstream of ACP1 on chromosome 2p, and heterozygous duplication affecting the TRIML2 probe on chromosome 4q.
  • Coriell NA06047: Heterozygous deletion affecting the RPH3AL probe on chromosome 17p.
  • Coriell NA14131: Heterozygous deletion affecting the PDCD6 probe on chromosome 5p.
  • Coriell NA22991: Heterozygous deletion affecting the TNFRSF4 probe on chromosome 1p.
