In regions with a high prevalence of thalassemia, conventional diagnostic methods may fail to detect atypical or complex genetic variants. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) provides a comprehensive strategy to identify such variants, allowing more accurate genotype-phenotype correlation. Nevertheless, its optimal integration into clinical workflows and its incremental value over standard diagnostic approaches remain...
