SALSA MLPA KIT P094 MEFV
Familial Mediterranean Fever (MEFV) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by recurrent attacks of fever and inflammation in the peritoneum, synovium, or pleura, accompanied by pain. Amyloidosis with renal failure is a complication and may develop without overt crises. The disease is caused by defects in the MEFV gene which has 10 exons and spans 14 kb on chromosome 16p13.3. Carrier rate for the disease is very high in several countries, including Armenia, Turkey, Israel and many Arab countries. Phenotype of the disease can be quite variable, probably reflecting the different mutations. The P094 probe mix contains at this moment MLPA probes for all 10 exons of the MEFV gene. Several probes are present for exon 1 of this gene. As a control, 9 probes for other human genes located on different chromosomes are included. This MLPA kit is designed to detect deletions / duplications of one or more exons of the MEFV gene. Deletions of probe recognition sequences will be apparent by a 35-50% reduced relative peak area of the amplification product of that probe. However, mutations/polymorphisms very close to the probe ligation site may also result in a reduced relative peak area. Apparent deletions of a single exon therefore always require confirmation by other methods. We have no information on what percentage of defects in this gene is caused by deletions/duplications of complete exons. Please note that most defects in this gene are expected to be small (point) mutations, most of which will not be detected by this MLPA test.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: MLPA kits are sold by MRC-Holland 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 MLPA kits are supplied with all necessary buffers and enzymes. Purchase of the Salsa MLPA test kits includes a limited license to use these products for research purposes. The use of this MLPA 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)
