Identification of exonic deletions in the PAH gene causing phenylketonuria by MLPA analysis.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Multiplex ligation probe amplification (MLPA) is a sensitive and efficient technique for molecular diagnosis of diseases involving deletions or duplications of large genomic regions. In phenylketonuria (PKU), most of the mutant alleles correspond to missense mutations and large deletions have been scarcely identified. In this study, we report for the first time the use of MLPA analysis on PKU patients...
