Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rapid-onset, potentially fatal hyperinflammatory syndrome. A prompt molecular diagnosis is crucial for appropriate clinical management. Here, we validated and prospectively evaluated a targeted high-throughput sequencing approach for HLH diagnostics. METHODS: A high-throughput sequencing strategy of 12 genes linked to HLH was validated in 13 patients with...
