Applications 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 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, ...
متن کاملImproved molecular diagnosis of dystrophin gene mutations using the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification method.
Mutation detection in the DMD gene defective in Duchenne (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophies (BMD) is complicated by the presence of 79 exons. The majority of recognized mutations are, however, copy number changes of individual exons, which traditionally have been identified by three common multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays and/or Southern blotting. Here we report the use of th...
متن کاملUse of multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene mutation analysis.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Duchenne (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) are X-linked recessive disorders, caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Genetic diagnosis of the proband becomes crucial, and forms the base for carrier analysis, genetic counselling, prediction of natural history and prognosis, and eligibility for therapeutic strategies. Traditional multiplex PCR assay is the comm...
متن کاملDeletions of NF1 gene and exons detected by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification.
To estimate the contribution of single and multi-exon NF1 gene copy-number changes to the NF1 mutation spectrum, we analysed a series of 201 Italian patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Of these, 138 had previously been found, using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography or protein truncation test, to be heterozygous for intragenic NF1 point mutations/deletions/insertions, a...
