Results To assay whether the MLPA is able to accurately detect TS cases, we first analyzed a cohort of known mosaic TS patients (“pilot TS group”). Using this group, the ratio able to detect all the mosaicisms and X structural abnormalities was 0.76 at least in one probe (table 1). This ratio permitted to identify also the lowest grade of mosaicism (15%) (mos 45,X[15]/46,XX[85]) among the patients of the pilot TS group. Interestingly, in this population, the MLPA detected Y material presence in…

Francine Shapiro developed the therapeutic intervention called Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) in 1987. In the ten years prior to this work, Shapiro, a PhD in English Literature, took an interest in behavior therapy and when she was diagnosed with cancer, it was the impetus for her to focus on, “the interplay of mind and external stressors” (Shapiro, 2001).
