Diagnosis; Mutation Confirmation
Clinical validity: Help
The detection rates of alterations using Microdeletions/microduplications MLPA (P245) is 7% approximately in randomly selected Developmental delay (DD)/mental retardation (also described as intellectual disability) cases with/without malformations. Though MLPA cannot probe the whole genome like cytogenetic microarray, due to its ease and relative low cost it is an important technique … View more

Analytical Validity: Help
For validation, 10 samples of patients with alterations in the critical regions covered by the SALSA® MLPA®Probemix P245 Microdeletion Syndromes kit were analyzed. All had been studied by CGH array. There was 100% concordance with the results previously detected with aCGH. Samples from healthy patients were also analyzed, no alterations … View more
