Sweden Adds PacBio Long-Read Sequencing for Rare Disease Diagnosis
Original: Genome Medicine Sweden Introduces PacBio Long-Read Sequencing for Rare Disease Dx
Genome Medicine Sweden is introducing PacBio long-read sequencing into its diagnostic workup for rare diseases. The technology can detect complex genetic variants that short-read sequencing often misses, potentially improving diagnosis rates for patients with previously unexplained conditions. The move marks one of the broader adoptions of long-read sequencing in a national healthcare genomics program.
Why now: A national genomics program adopting long-read sequencing is a significant milestone for rare disease diagnostics.
