This editorial discusses the clinical perspective of long-read sequencing method in the prenatal diagnosis of alpha- and beta-thalassemia, comparing it with standard PCR-based methods. The increased sensitivity and specificity of long-read sequencing provide an important advantage in the prenatal diagnostic field, as false positive or false negative results have greater consequences when families are making decisions about their pregnancy.
This is an editorial focusing on the clinical perspective of a long-read sequencing method in the prenatal diagnosis of alpha- and beta-thalassemia, including a comparison between this method and standard PCR-based methods. Though incremental, the increased sensitivity and specificity using long-read sequencing is an important advantage of this methodology in the prenatal diagnostic arena due to false positive or false negative results having greater consequence when a family is making decisions about their pregnancy.
