MLPA is one of the few techniques with the ability to quickly and accurately identify small deletions and duplications that may be below the resolution of FISH or aCGH. MLPA method allows to conduct a quantitative evaluation of several dozens of different nucleotide sequences of DNA within one test.
This method is used to identify:
• Subtelomeric aberrations (SALSA MLPA KIT P036 MRC Holland) (procedure code: GEN-104)
SALSA MLPA kit P036 Subtelomeres contains 46 MLPA probes with 2 probes for each chromosome. 41 probes are located in subtelomeric regions. For the 5 acrocentric chromosomes (13, 14, 15, 21, 22) probes are located close to the centromere. The
subtelomeric probes for the X and Y chromosome are identical as they detect sequences in the
pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1 and PAR2).
