Next-Generation Molecular Testing of Newborn Dried Blood Spots for Cystic Fibrosis
1 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
Newborn screening for cystic fibrosis enables early detection and management of this debilitating genetic disease. Implementing comprehensive CFTR analysis using Sanger sequencing as a component of confirmatory testing of all screen-positive newborns has remained impractical due to relatively lengthy turnaround times and high cost. Here, we describe CFseq, a highly sensitive, specific, rapid (<3 days), and...
