A deletion in the N gene may cause diagnostic escape in SARS-CoV-2 samples

Copyright © 2021. Published by Elsevier Inc..

Five SARS-CoV-2-positive samples showed N-gene drop-out with a RT-PCR multiplex test. WGS found all samples to harbor a deletion in the same region of the N gene, which is likely to impair the efficiency of amplification. This highlights the need for a continued surveillance of viral evolution and diagnostic test performance.
