Neglected SARS-CoV-2 variants and potential concerns for molecular diagnostics: a framework for nucleic acid amplification test target site quality assurance

ABSTRACT During the COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 detection using nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) played a key role in clinical management and public health interventions. However, mutations could jeopardize NAAT-based detection if they occur in the NAAT target site, potentially resulting i...
