One-step NGS molecular analysis of the CFTR gene on newborn dried blood spots gives a higher diagnostic sensitivity in affected and carrier subjects: A pilot study

Cystic fibrosis is the most common hereditary recessive disease with an incidence of about 1:2500/3000. It has long been known that the disease is caused by deleterious mutations in the CFTR gene. Conventionally, the disease is diagnosed in several phases. The analysis of all the possible disease-ca...
