79414-9
LaboratoryMSH6 gene deletion and duplication mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by MLPA
Definition
Deletion/duplication testing for MSH6 gene is performed by using the multiple ligation probe amplification (MLPA) platform. MLPA will detect full MSH6 gene deletions and multiple-exon and single-exon deletions and duplications. Balanced translocations are not detected by this method.
