Whole-Exome Sequencing

Understand patient health histories and diagnoses better and test at-risk family members.

Let’s Talk About WES

What is the Exome?


Exons are the sections of the genome that are transcribed into mRNA and translated into proteins. Altogether, the exons make up the exome — about 2% of the total genome.

 

Why Is Studying the Exome Important?


Most (or around 85%) of known genetic variants that contribute to disease occur in the exonic regions. 

 

Through a gene sequencing approach targeting this relatively small percentage of the genome, scientists can learn about the majority of clinically relevant genetic variations that affect protein coding.

What Can You Do?
