What is another word for multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification?
Pronunciation: [mˈʌltɪplˌɛks lɪɡˈe͡ɪʃəndɪpˈɛndənt pɹˈə͡ʊb ˌamplɪfɪkˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) is a molecular biology technique used to detect gene copy number variations in DNA. It is a reliable and fast method to identify abnormalities associated with diseases. However, there are several synonyms that are used to describe this method, such as multiplex PCR-based technology, multiplex ligation-dependent genomic PCR, and multiplex ligation-dependent amplification. It is also referred to as a targeted sequencing technique and is used in various research areas, including genetics, oncology, and microbiology. MLPA is a valuable tool in the identification and diagnosis of genetic disorders and can also aid in the development of targeted therapy for diseases.
