The document outlines the procedures and requirements for ordering Exome Sequencing tests at Knight Diagnostic Laboratories, specifically for family trios (patient and both parents). It details necessary forms, specimen collection, billing information, and the consent process. The Exome Sequencing test aims to identify genetic changes that may contribute to a patient's condition by analyzing DNA from all three individuals. It also discusses potential limitations of the test, privacy concerns regarding genetic information, and options for receiving additional findings related to other health conditions.

What are copy number variants in whole exome sequencing?

Copy number variations (CNVs) are genomic alterations that result in abnormal copies of one or more genes. Structural genomic events such as duplications, deletions, translocations, and inversions can cause CNVs.

Why is WGS better than WES?

In conclusion, WGS offers more comprehensive coverage than WES by allowing you to examine the genome as a whole for variations that could be linked to diseases.

How is WES different from WGS?

Because the majority of known disease-associated variants occur within coding regions, WES is often used to detect these mutations. Compared to WGS, WES greatly reduces sequencing costs by focusing on only ~25% of the genome.

Can whole exome sequencing detect copy number variants?

In addition, whole exome sequencing is increasingly being offered as a diagnostic test for heterogeneous disorders. Although mostly used for the detection of point mutations and small insertion-deletions, exome sequencing can also be used to call CNVs, allowing combined small and large variant analysis.

How will you detect copy number variation using whole-genome sequencing?

It works by comparing the insert size between the actual sequences read-pairs with the expected size based on a reference genome. Labs using this method can identify CNVs by mapping the discordance between mapped paired reads whose distances docHubly differ from the predetermined average insert size.

What is the cost of whole exome genetic testing?

The cost of Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) in India varies depending on the provider, type of analysis, and additional services included. Heres a general breakdown: Basic WES Test: ₹26,000. Trio WES (For Parents Child): ₹75,000.

What cannot be detected by whole exome sequencing?

WES does not detect all possible causes of genetic conditions. It does not detect changes outside of the exome and it cannot detect certain types of changes such as large deletions (missing pieces) or duplications (extra pieces) within the genes or chromosomes.

What tests identify copy number variants?

Both exome sequencing (ES) and genome sequencing interrogate all protein-coding exons and therefore, in principle, can detect the complete size range of CNVs affecting these exons.
