Test Confirmation: Help
Each sample is run in duplicate on different plates for confirmation.
Test Comments: Help
This test is validated to detect a single-base insertion/duplication of a cytosine residue within a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) region of the MUC1 gene. This duplication lies within a GC-rich region of the gene, which is difficult to assess by standard next-generation sequencing methods. Therefore, this MALDI-TOF MS method … View more
