Számos monogénesen öröklődő kórképben a betegséget okozó gén teljes vagy részleges deletiója, illetve kópiaszámának megváltozása patogenetikai tényezőként jön számításba. A direkt DNS-szekvenálás nem alkalmas a gén nagy deletiójának, illetve kópiaszám-változásának kimutatására. Az összefoglalóban a szerzők áttekintik a nagy géndeletio vizsgálómódszereit, és két, monogénesen öröklődő betegségben végzett saját vizsgálataik példáján keresztül bemutatják a módszerek gyakorlati alkalmazásának lehetőségeit. Vázolják a géndeletio-vizsgálat hagyományos (kromoszóma-sávtechnika, Southern-blot, fluoreszcens in situ hibridizáció) és polimeráz láncreakcióra alapozott módszereit (denaturáló nagy felbontóképességű folyadékkromatográfia, kvantitatív valós idejű polimeráz láncreakció, mikroszatellitamarker-analízis, multiplex amplifikálhatópróba-hibridizáció, multiplex ligatióspróba-analízis), valamint a technikai és informatikai haladás legújabb vívmányait (komparatív genomhibridizálás, „array” analízis). Saját vizsgálataikban von Hippel–Lindau-szindrómában szenvedő betegekben kvantitatív valós idejű polimeráz láncreakció és multiplex ligatióspróba-amplifikálás alkalmazásával bemutatják a VHL, illetve congenitalis adrenalis hyperplasiás betegekben a CYP21A2 géndeletio-vizsgálat eredményeit és ezek klinikai jelentőségét.
