Abstract excerpt
Stored surplus of dried blood spot (DBS) samples from neonatal screening programs constitute a vast potential for large genetic epidemiological studies. However, age of the samples and the small amounts of DNA available may limit their usage. In this study we validate genotyping accuracy and efficiency of whole-genome-amplified DNA (wgaDNA) obtained from stored DBS samples, with reference to fresh genomic DNA...
