چکیده

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, its reaction mechanism has not been fully analyzed. Herein, we describe a ligation-independent pathway for MLPA and introduce a ligation-independent probe amplification system that can be used to obtain amplified products without the hybridization and ligation processes. Fragment analysis revealed that the ligation-independent pathway is functional and that the capacity to discriminate single nucleotides with MLPA does not depend on ligation. These findings indicate that the feasibility and fidelity of MLPA do not rely on ligation.

CNV Analysis Using Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification in Iranian Families with Non-Syndromic Congenital Heart Defects: Early Diagnosis of Non-Syndromic Patients

Background and Aims: Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common type of congenital disability. Copy number variations (CNVs) have been found as one of the genetic etiology of non-syndromic CHD, and researchers have detected several pathogenic CNVs in patients with cardiac defects. Materials and Methods: In the present study, 70 patients with familial (20 patients) and sporadic (50 pati...

Detection of risk-identifying chromosomal abnormalities and genomic profiling by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

We performed genomic profiling using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) in 54 cases with suspected or advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). MLPA detected abnormalities when the percentage of mutated cells was greater than approximately 35%. Loss of 9p21 CDNK2A/B was revealed. MLPA is an economically attractive, powerful tool in trial-based, centralized risk-assessmen...
