Genetic testing and quality control in diagnostic laboratories.

Nature genetics - 1 Jul 2000

Dequeker E, Cassiman J J

Abstract excerpt

To evaluate the quality of genetic testing for cystic fibrosis, 136, 145 and 159 laboratories participated in a European study in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. We sent six purified DNA samples carrying the more common CFTR mutations with the request to test them using routine protocols. A panel of experts reviewed the results together with the raw data.
