1 kit A071 - A078 DMD Lot 0606 Please note: This SALSA kit has been developed for the low-resolution detection of DMD (partial) deletions with an agarose gel electrophoresis or Agilent microfluidics. kit P034/P035 DMD is available for DMD screening using a capillary sequencer. DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY and BECKER MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY can be caused by deletions, duplications or point mutations in the DMD gene on chromosome Xp21.2. The protein encoded by this gene is dystrophin. Information on DMD and the various deletions/duplications in this gene can be found on To what extent DMD manifests depends on whether the translational reading frame is lost or maintained. Partial gene deletions or duplications in the DMD gene account for as much as ~65% of cases of these dystrophies. This extremely high percentage may be due to the nature of the protein and the gene s extreme length (> 2.2 Mb). The A071-A078 DMD mixes contain one MLPA for each of the 79 DMD exons. In addition, a is present for the alternative exon 1: DP427c. These 80 s have been divided into eight different mixes from A071 to A078. In addition, in some mixes one or two reference s for other X chromosome sequences are present. Low-resolution detection of deletions in the DMD gene requires 8 different MLPA reactions for each DNA sample, whereas the use of the P034-P035 mixes requires only two MLPA reactions. In addition, P034/P035 requires the use of capillary sequencers and can detect duplications in both patients and DMD carriers. This SALSA kit is designed to detect deletions/duplications of one or more sequences in the aforementioned gene in a DNA sample. The DMD gene is located on the X-chromosome and almost all patients are male. Deletions of a s recognition sequence on the X-chromosome will lead to a complete absence of the corresponding amplification product in males. Duplications can be detected by high quality agarose gel electrophoresis of A071-A078 amplification products (Johan den Dunnen & Stefan White, personal examination). Note that a mutation or polymorphism in the sequence detected by a can also cause a reduction in relative peak area, even when not located exactly on the ligation site! In addition, some signals are more sensitive to sample purity and small changes in experimental conditions. Therefore, deletions and duplications detected by MLPA should always be confirmed by other methods. Not all deletions and duplications detected by MLPA will be pathogenic; users should always verify the latest scientific literature when interpreting their findings. We have no information on what percentage of defects in this gene is caused by deletions/duplications of complete exons. Finally, note that most defects in this gene are expected to be small (point) mutations which will not be detected by this SALSA test. SALSA kits are sold by for research purposes and to demonstrate the possibilities of the MLPA technique. This kit is not CE/FDA certified for use in diagnostic procedures. SALSA kits are supplied with all necessary buffers and enzymes. Purchase of the SALSA test kits includes a limited license to use these products for research purposes. The use of this SALSA kit requires a thermocycler with heated lid and sequence type electrophoresis equipment. Different fluorescent PCR primers are available. The MLPA technique has been first described in Nucleic Acid Research 30, e57 (2002).

Genet Test.; 8(4): Data analysis The A071-A078 DMD mixes contain MLPA s with amplification products between 137 and 491 nt. In addition, they contain 5 control fragments generating an amplification product smaller than 120 nt: four DNA Quantity fragments (Q-fragments) at nt and one synthetic ligation-dependent control fragment at 92 nt. More information on how to interpret observations on these control fragments can be found in the MLPA protocol. In some mixes, one or two reference s for other chromosome X sequences are also included. The PCR primers included with these kits do not contain fluorescent tags. Length differences between the amplification products of two s are at least 24 nt. The amplification products of the MLPA reactions can easily be separated by agarose gel electrophoresis. Analysis of samples can be done by simple visual examination of the ethidium bromide stained agarose gels, or in case of Agilent / Caliper microfluidics separation, by visual examination of the electrophoresis peak profiles. Examples of profiles obtained with the A071-A078 DMD mixes can be viewed on Analysis of the DMD gene is however much more simple with the use of mixes P034 and P035 combined with separation of amplification products by capillary electrophoresis as only two MLPA reactions are required instead of eight. Many copy number alterations in healthy individuals are described in the database of genomic variants: For example, a duplication of a complete gene might not be pathogenic, while a partial duplication or a deletion may result in disease. For some genes, certain in-frame deletions may result in a very mild, or no disease. Copy number changes of reference s are unlikely to be the cause of the condition tested for. Users should always verify the latest scientific literature when interpreting their findings. These mixes were developed by J. Coffa & J.P. Schouten at. In case the results obtained with this mix lead to a scientific publication, it would be very much appreciated if the first mix designer could be made a coauthor.

The distance between different exons gives some indication about the likelihood that a single exon deletion/duplication occurs. It is e.g. unlikely that exon 35 is duplicated and exon 36 is not, as these exons are only 0.3 kb apart. In case you find a deletion/duplication of only one exon, we strongly recommend performing a sequencing analysis of this exon, as mutations / polymorphisms situated close to the ligation site can influence the peak area of the amplification product of that. Note: The exon numbering in Table 2 is different as compared to the exon numbering used by the NCBI in the NM_.. reference sequences! We used the same exon numbering as in all previous versions of this product description. The complete sequences are available on request. Please notify us of any mistakes: info@mlpa.com.
