Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the value of long-read sequencing for preimplantation haplotype linkage analysis. METHODS: The genetic material of the three β-thalassemia mutation carrier couples was sequenced using single-molecule real-time sequencing in the 7.7-kb region of the HBB gene and a 7.4-kb region that partially overlapped with it to detect the presence of 17 common HBB gene mutations in the...
