Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) is a molecular biology technique used to detect and quantify specific DNA sequences. It allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple targets within a single reaction, making it a powerful tool for genetic analysis, especially in the context of copy number variation (CNV) detection, such as deletions or duplications of genomic regions.
