Validation of low-pass genome sequencing for prenatal diagnosis.

Our study suggests that LP-GS is a promising alternative to CMA in prenatal diagnostics, offering advantages, including a more efficient workflow and scalability for larger testing volumes. Importantly, for clinical laboratories that have adopted next-generation sequencing in a separate capacity, LP-GS facilitates a unified NGS-centric approach, enabling workflow consolidation. By offering a single, streamlined platform for detecting a broad range of genetic variants, LP-GS may represent a critical step toward enhancing the diagnostic capabilities of prenatal laboratories.
