Abstract excerpt
Presence of pseudogenes is a dreadful issue in next generation sequencing (NGS), because their contamination can interfere with the detection of variants in the genuine gene and generate false positive and false negative variants.In this chapter we focus on issues related to the application of NGS strategies for analysis of genes with pseudogenes in a clinical setting. The degree to which a pseudogene impacts the...
