Abstract excerpt
MLPA (Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification) is a semiquantitative molecular technique developed to uncover gross gene rearrangements in several monogenic diseases, including the X-linked Fabry disease (FD) caused by mutations in the GLA gene. Heterozygosity of the X chromosome in females makes it important to combine routine sequencing analysis with at least one allelic dosage assay (i.e. MLPA). We...
