High resolution Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy array
Muscular Dystrophy array
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is an X-linked condition caused by mutations in the DMD gene. Featuring a 4x44k format and dense probe coverage of the DMD gene region, the new CytoSure DMD array offers increased confidence in detecting deletions and duplications within the DMD gene. This array has undergone a process of empirical testing and optimisation to provide probe sets of extremely high sensitivity and specificity. Average exon probe spacing of 10 bp (106 bp within introns) ensures excellent resolution. As a result, the entire DMD gene is covered on a single 44,000 feature array, which enables 4 full arrays per slide, maximising cost-efficiency by reducing the cost per sample. Manual processing and analysis is straightforward using the DMD array, the CytoSure Genomic DNA labelling kit and the comprehensive new CytoSure Interpret Software. For higher throughput applications, the DMD array is fully compatible with SciGene workflow automation products.
