Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The MLPA (multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification) technique is currently the test most widely used to detect mutations in the Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene in the initial assessment. However, several studies have suggested that MLPA results require implementing other detection methods due to false duplication. Our aim was to evaluate variables that could alter the peak ratio...
