79416-4
LaboratoryMLH1 gene deletion and duplication mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by MLPA
Definition
Deletion/duplication testing for MLH1 gene is performed by using the multiple ligation probe amplification (MLPA) platform. The MLPA will detect full MLH1 gene deletions and multiple-exon and single-exon deletions and duplications. Balanced translocations are not detected by this method.
