The related report by Serizawa et al, “Custom-designed MLPA using multiple short synthetic probes: application to methylation analysis of five promoter CpG islands in tumor and urine specimens from patients with bladder cancer,” appears in the July 2010 issue of The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics.
