MLPA offers several advantages in the context of pediatric diagnostics:
High Sensitivity and Specificity: It can detect even small deletions and duplications with high precision. Efficiency: The technique allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple targets in a single reaction. Cost-Effective: Compared to other methods like whole genome sequencing, MLPA is more affordable and quicker, making it suitable for routine clinical practice. Versatility: MLPA can be adapted to analyze various types of genetic material, including genomic DNA and RNA.
