Robust method for distinguishing heterozygous from homozygous transgenic alleles by multiplex ligation-dependent probe assay.
Transgenic mouse alleles continue to be used heavily in biomedical research (1). Transgenes insert into the genome at random sites, typically in a tandem array of 1 to 20 copies. Both Southern blot analysis and real-time PCR can be used for determining the zygosity of transgenes, but each have practical and technical limitations (2–4). Here we describe a robust, easily implemented method for de...
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 کاملcan we rely on the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification method (mlpa) for prenatal diagnosis?
background: the major aneuploidies that are diagnosed prenatally involve the autosomal chromosomes 13, 18, and 21, as well as sex chromosomes, x and y. because multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (mlpa) is rapid and non-invasive, it has replaced traditional culture methods for the screening and diagnosis of common aneuploidies in some countries. objective: to evaluate the sensitiv...
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 کاملMultiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) genotyping assay for mouse models of down syndrome.
The Ts65Dn mouse is the most widely investigated segmentally trisomic mouse model of Down syndrome. Quantitative PCR based methods are the preferred way of detecting the trisomic segment for genotyping purposes. However, identification of a 1.5 fold difference in target DNA is at the limit of detection of most quantitative PCR based methods, and in practice this can lead to difficulties in assi...
