Cost-analysis for detection of major structural rearrangements in the LDL receptor gene with quantitative PCR methods

Real-Time PCR MLPA
Price reagents (in euros) 1120 110
Time laboratory technician (hours) 56 14

Data are given for a batch of 10 samples tested in 16 exons in the LDL receptor gene with the Real-Time PCR method and with the MPLA method. Costs of data analysis and interpretation of results were the same for the two methods.
