81851-8
LaboratoryChromosome region 11p15 methylation and deletion+duplication in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
Definition
The methylation status and copy numbers of the 11p15 chromosome region can be determined by various methods, including methylation-specific PCR and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MS-MLPA). This test is performed to detect causes of Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) and Russell-Silver Syndrome (RSS).
