What are the limitations of whole genome sequencing?
While whole genome sequencing provides comprehensive genetic information, it has some limitations. A whole genome sequencing test may not detect very small structural changes, low-level mosaicism, or certain epigenetic modifications. Additionally, not all detected genetic variants are currently understood, meaning some findings may be classified as variants of uncertain significance.
What is the recommended coverage for WGS?
The recommended coverage for a WGS test is typically 30x, meaning each base of the genome is read an average of 30 times. This coverage ensures high accuracy and reliability in identifying genetic variants across the entire genome, making the whole genome sequencing test suitable for clinical and diagnostic purposes.
Can whole genome sequencing detect autoimmune disease?
Whole genome sequencing can identify genetic variants associated with increased risk for autoimmune diseases, but it does not diagnose the diseases directly. A whole genome sequencing test uncovers predispositions based on your genetic makeup, supporting early risk assessment and enabling more personalized healthcare planning.
What conditions can whole genome sequencing detect?
A whole genome sequencing test can detect a wide range of conditions, including inherited genetic disorders, cancer predispositions, rare and undiagnosed diseases, and pharmacogenomic responses. The WGS test provides deep insights into health risks, helping guide early diagnosis, preventive care, and personalized treatment strategies.
