Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification

Preferred Label : Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification;

NCIt related terms : MLPA;

NCIt definition : A type of high-throughput, multiplex PCR method used to determine abnormal DNA copy number changes of up to 50 genomic DNA or RNA sequences with a single pair of PCR primers. It is frequently used in the detection of genetic aberrations in tumors, and can distinguish sequences differing in only a single nucleotide.;

Alternative definition : CDISC: A type of high-throughput, multiplex PCR method that uses a single pair of PCR primers to amplify multiple targets and to determine changes in complex genomes.;
