Abstract

To advance the characterization of tumor-associated cell-free DNA in blood and bone marrow (BM), a rapid profiling method using methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MS-MLPA) was established. MS-MLPA detects genetic and epigenetic aberrations of 37 tumor suppressor genes (TSG) in a single reaction and might, therefore, avoid the cumbersome single gene analyses.
