Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification – a short overview
Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification is a technique proposed for the detection of deletions or duplications that may lead to copy number variations in genomic DNA, mainly due to its higher resolution, and shorter overall diagnosis time, when ...

Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification using a completely synthetic probe set
The recent development of multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) has provided an efficient and reliable assay for dosage screening of multiple loci in a single reaction. However, a drawback to this method is the time-consuming process of

Identification of nine genomic regions of amplification in urothelial carcinoma, correlation with stage, and potential prognostic and therapeutic value. [PDF]
We performed a genome wide analysis of 164 urothelial carcinoma samples and 27 bladder cancer cell lines to identify copy number changes associated with disease characteristics, and examined the association of amplification events with stage and grade of

Probe-specific mixed-model approach to detect copy number differences using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) [PDF]
Background MLPA method is a potentially useful semi-quantitative method to detect copy number alterations in targeted regions. In this paper, we propose a method for the normalization procedure based on a non-linear mixed-model, as well as a new approach

Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification versus karyotyping in prenatal diagnosis: the M.A.K.E. study [PDF]
Background In the past 30 years karyotyping was the gold standard for prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal aberrations in the fetus. Traditional karyotyping (TKT) has a high accuracy and reliability.

Concordance of copy number abnormality detection using SNP arrays and Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. [PDF]
In acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, MLPA has been used in research studies to identify clinically relevant copy number abnormality (CNA) profiles. However, in diagnostic settings other techniques are often employed.

Maternally inherited Leigh syndrome detected by Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification [PDF]
Leigh syndrome (LS) is a mitochondrial progressive encephalopathy characterized by bilateral symmetric necrotic lesions of the central nervous system. Maternally inherited Leigh Syndrome (MILS) represents ∼10–20% of LS.
