Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Currently, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) is the most commonly used technique for the detection of large genomic rearrangements (LGRs) in the BRCA1/2 genes. However, a very fast assay, the BRCA1/2 multiplex amplicon quantification (MAQ), has been recently developed by Multiplicom. METHODS: As no data regarding the application of MAQ method to BRCA1/2 genes are available in...
