Whole Exome
Sequencing
Identify disease variants with efficiency and cost-effectively
What is Whole
Exome Sequencing?
Whole exome sequencing (WES) investigates the protein coding regions, or exons, in a genome collectively known as the exome. There are approximately 180,000 exons which represent less than 2% of the human genome. As most disease-related variants are found in exons, WES is an efficient method to understand the genetic cause of diseases or conditions. where an estimated 85% of disease-causing mutations are suspected to originate. WES identifies variant types including SNVs, indels, runs of homozygosity and mosaic variants. Whole exome sequencing is a more cost-efficient alternative to whole genome sequencing.
