Methylation-Sensitive Quantitative Locked Nucleic Acid Polymerase Chain Reaction

**Semantic type:** Laboratory Procedure

**Definition:** A modified polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique in which bisulphite-converted methylated CpG target sequences are amplified in the presence of locked nucleic acid (LNA) modified primers.

**Synonyms:** - METHYLATION-SENSITIVE QUANTITATIVE LOCKED NUCLEIC ACID PCR - MS-qLNAPCR - MS-qLNAPCR
