Clinical Whole Exome Sequencing
Undiagnosed conditions after standard workup, or high-risk familial patterns not explained by F24-T1/T2's targeted panels.
- Whole Exome Sequencing — Sequences all protein-coding regions of the genome (~1-2% of total DNA, where most known disease-causing variants occur)
- Genetic Counseling — Included — mandatory, both before and after testing given the complexity of results
What normal doesn't rule out
a definitive answer in every case — WES identifies a causative variant in a meaningful but not universal proportion of undiagnosed cases. A negative result doesn't rule out a genetic cause; it may mean the answer lies outside the coding regions tested.
Not included
- Non-coding genome regions (see F24-T4, Whole Genome Sequencing)
- Targeted panels (F24-T1, F24-T2) — this is broader but not a replacement if you already know the specific risk area
Not the right fit if
you have a specific, well-characterized family history pointing to one condition — a targeted panel (F24-T1 or F24-T2) is more appropriate and cost-effective than broad exome sequencing.
Preparation
Preparation: A single blood draw. No fasting or special preparation. || Sample & turnaround: Blood sample, processed by a partnered genomics lab. Turnaround is 3–4 weeks given the scope of analysis.
Add-ons matched to this package — not “frequently bought”.
- Sometimes relevant: F24-T4 Whole Genome Sequencing — only if WES is negative and non-coding causes remain clinically suspected
If you want more coverage
Your genetic counselor may discuss F24-T4 (Whole Genome Sequencing, ₹75,000) if non-coding regions are suspected, though this is a significant additional step, not a routine next tier.
