CFTR gene variant detection in moroccan individuals via nanopore long-read sequencing

Abstract

This study demonstrates the potential of long-read sequencing using ONT as an efficient means to detect CF-causing variants in African populations. Given the significant genetic heterogeneity in Africa, this technique can serve as an affordable molecular screening tool for CF, especially in areas with constrained access to genetic screening.
