Multiplex Ligation‐Dependent Probe Amplification for the Detection of 1p and 19q Chromosomal Loss in Oligodendroglial Tumors
1 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) is a new assay for the detection of multiple chromosomal deletions in tumor tissue in a single experiment. Since genotyping of gliomas with oligodendroglial features by the detection of 1p/19q chromosomal deletions became essential for treatment decisions, we developed and validated an MLPA-based assay to determine these losses in formalin fixed and paraffin...
