Recent advances in long-read next-generation sequencing (NGS) have enabled researchers to identify several pathogenic variants overlooked by short-read NGS, array-based comparative genomic hybridization, and other conventional methods. Long-read NGS is particularly useful in the detection of structural variants and repeat expansions. Furthermore, it can be used for mutation screening in difficultto- sequence regions, as well as for DNA-methylation analyses and haplotype phasing. This mini-review introduces the usefulness of long-read NGS in the molecular diagnosis of pediatric endocrine disorders.
