Abstract excerpt
There is significant debate within the diagnostics community regarding the accuracy of variant identification by next-generation sequencing and the necessity of confirmatory testing of detected variants. Because the quality threshold to discriminate false positives depends on the workflow, no regulatory standard regarding this matter has yet been published. The goal of this study was to empirically determine the...
