Added Value of HER-2 Amplification Testing by Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification in Invasive Breast Cancer
BACKGROUND HER-2 is a prognostic and predictive marker, but as yet no technique is perfectly able to identify patients likely to benefit from HER-2 targeted therapies. We aimed to prospectively assess the added value of first-line co-testing by IHC, and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH). METHODS As local validation, HER-2 MLPA...
متن کاملApplications of multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) method in diagnosis of cancer and genetic disorders
Introduction: Lots of human diseases and syndromes result from partial or complete gene deletions and duplications or changes of certain specific chromosomal sequences. Many various methods are used to study the chromosomal aberrations including Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH), Fluorescent in Situ Hybridization (FISH), Southern blots, Multiplex Amplifiable Probe Hybridisation (MAP...
متن کاملHER-2/neu Amplification Testing in Breast Cancer by Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification in Comparison with Immunohistochemistry and In Situ Hybridization
BACKGROUND Assessment of HER-2/neu status in invasive breast cancer is crucial to establish eligibility for trastuzumab and taxane based chemotherapy. Next to immunohistochemistry (IHC) to evaluate protein overexpression, a second line gene amplification test is required for cases with equivocal protein expression. This study aimed to validate a new PCR based test, called Multiplex Ligation-dep...
متن کاملMultiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification to Detect HER2 Amplification in Breast Cancer: New Insights in Optimal Cut-Off Value
In Volume 31 of Cellular Oncology (2009), we published an article titled “HER2-neu amplification in breast cancer by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification in comparison with immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization” [3]. To analyze our multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) data we used a cut-off value of 1.5 to discriminate between HER2 non-amplified and low-l...
متن کاملLigation-independent mechanism of multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification.
Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) is a widely used technique for detecting genomic structural variants. The technique is based on hybridization and ligation, followed by amplification of the ligation products. Therefore, ligation is considered a fundamental process that determines the feasibility and fidelity of MLPA. However, despite the widespread use of this technique, ...
