Abstract
Using nanopore sequencing, we showed the feasibility and impact of rapid genomic screening for managing thrombotic microangiopathies in 18 prospective cases, achieving diagnoses in <3 days. We compared the results with standard exome sequencing, cost efficiency, and complement blockade initiation.
