Analysis of LMNA Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-0441-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: lamin A/C<br />Also known as: FPL; IDC; LFP; CDDC; EMD2; FPLD; HGPS; LDP1; LMN1; LMNC; MADA; PRO1; CDCD1; CMD1A; FPLD2; LMNL1; CMT2B1; LGMD1B<br />The protein encoded by this gene is part of the nuclear lamina, the two-dimensional protein matrix next to the nuclear membrane. The laminin family constitutes the matrix and is highly conserved during evolution. During mitosis, the lamellar matrix is reversibly disassembled due to phosphorylation of laminin. Laminin is thought to be involved in nuclear stability, chromatin structure and gene expression. The lamellae of vertebrates consist of two types, A and B. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Mutations in this gene lead to several diseases: Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, familial partial lipodystrophy, limb girdle muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.




Principle

Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) is an experimental method applied to PCR experiments using RNA as the starting material. In this method, total or messenger RNA (mRNA) is first transcribed into complementary DNA (cDNA) by reverse transcriptase. Subsequently, qPCR reaction was performed using cDNA as template.

Applications

Gene mutation analysis.

Procedure

1. Sample processing and preparation of PCR reaction system.
2. Add the amplification template, cover the PCR reaction cover, mix well, centrifuge at low speed instantaneously, and transfer to the PCR instrument.
3. Set the program for PCR amplification.
4. Data analysis.

Materials

Sample: depends on the customer's analysis requirements
