SALSA® MLPA® Probemix P095 Aneuploidy detects the copy number of chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y.
Contents: 36 MLPA probes, including 8 probes for each of the chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and, 4 probes for the Y chromosome.
Tissue: genomic DNA isolated from human peripheral whole blood, buccal swabs or specified prenatal samples (see Intended Purpose).
Application: Patau, Edwards and Down syndromes and Turner, Triple X, Klinefelter, 47,XYY syndromes.
CE-marked and registered for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use in selected territories.
The SALSA MLPA Probemix P095 Aneuploidy is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) or research use only (RUO) semi-quantitative assay for the detection of deletions or duplications of eight DNA sequences on each of four human chromosomes (13, 18, 21, X) and four sequences on chromosome Y as a means to detect an aneuploidy for one of these chromosomes in prenatal and postnatal DNA samples. For postnatal samples, genomic DNA isolated from human peripheral whole blood specimens or buccal swabs can be used. For prenatal samples, genomic DNA isolated from (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, or fetal blood can be used. P095 Aneuploidy is intended to confirm a potential cause for and clinical diagnosis of Patau, Edwards and Down syndromes (trisomy 13, 18 and 21, respectively) and Turner, Triple X, Klinefelter, 47, XYY syndromes (X/Y chromosome aneuploidies). This probemix cannot distinguish between normal females (46,XX) and triploid females (69,XXX).
For the full intended purpose, see the product description.
Germline aneuploidy of a complete chromosome is the main cause of spontaneous pregnancy loss. The most common cases of an abnormal chromosome copy number at birth concern the presence of an extra chromosome 13, 18 or 21 (leading to Patau, Edwards and Down syndromes, respectively), each resulting in intellectual disability and various syndromic birth defects. The presence of an extra or missing sex chromosome e.g. X0, XXX, XXY, XYY, results generally in less severe consequences (Turner, Triple X, Klinefelter, and XYY syndromes respectively). Full chromosome gain or loss account for the majority of cases, while a minority results from partial chromosome duplications or mosaicism.

SALSA MLPA Probemix P095 Aneuploidy is CE-marked for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use. This assay has also been registered for IVD use in Colombia and Israel.
This assay is for research use only (RUO) in all other 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 have been tested with the current (A4) version of this product and have been shown to produce useful results.
