Transforming complex sequencing data into medical decisions
Certain patients present a combination of symptoms characteristic of syndromes with several associated genes. In these cases, the study of a single gene is usually an inefficient strategy, resulting in staggered, lengthy and costly diagnostic processes that can end up delaying diagnosis and negatively affecting their quality of life. 85% of the known pathogenic variants are found in the coding regions of the genes, the exons.
Focusing on these regions where the disease causing genetic alterations are most likely to be found, RefLab Whole Exome® sequences the whole exome (WES) and interprets the sequencing data from a clinical point of view, offering comprehensive and conclusive medical reports.
Test code: 25954, 25953
Sample requirements:
- 5mL whole blood EDTA
- 1 RefLabCard®
- Purified DNA (≥ 30ng/uL in ≥ 100uL)
Informed consent must be sent with the sample
We offer the most advanced Exome Sequencing services and bioinformatic tools in order to sequence thousands of genes simultaneously and to perform the clinical interpretation of the sequencing data in a reliable, fast and cost-effective way.
When is WES indicated?
- Genetically heterogeneous disorders (intellectual disability, metabolopathies, ataxias, neuropathies...)
- There is no specific genetic test to diagnose the suspected genetic disease
- There are inconclusive prior genetic tests
