Out of which only 1.5% of those nucleotides get translated into proteins. The exome comprises of all the genome\u2019s exons, which are the coding regions of the genes. Exons are termed as <strong>\u201cexpressed sequences\u201d<\/strong> because these regions get translated while the introns can be termed as<strong> \u201cintervening sequences\u201d <\/strong>as they are not expressed or translated into proteins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genes2me.com\/service\/diagnostics\/exome-sequencing\/exome-sequencing\">Clinical exome sequencing<\/a> is a comprehensive DNA test where all the clinically relevant genes are screened using <strong>Next-generation sequencing<\/strong> (NGS) technology. Most of the diseases related to genes are caused by mutations in the exome.&nbsp; Coding regions of the DNA are called the exome, which carries out every metabolic function in the human body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clinical Exome sequencing is a cost-effective approach when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genes2me.com\/service\/diagnostics\">whole-genome sequencing<\/a> is not necessary or is not required. Sequencing only the coding regions of the genome help the researchers to focus on the genes that are most likely to affect the specific phenotype.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Advantages of Clinical Exome Sequencing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Identifies variants\/mutants across a broad range of clinical applications<\/li><li>Achieves comprehensive coverage of coding regions<\/li><li>Provides a cost-effective alternative to whole-genome sequencing <\/li><li>Produces a smaller, more manageable data set for faster, easier data analysis compared to whole-genome approaches<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>Who\nshould go for Clinical Exome Sequencing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Clinical Exome Sequencing is performed during any age of life and is generally performed due to the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>suspected to have\nany genetic condition<\/li><li>have a complex\nmedical history that may have affected many organs and\/or body systems<\/li><li>Inconclusive\nprevious genetic testing<\/li><li>for prenatal\nanalysis&nbsp; <\/li><li>Performed for a\nrange of clinical presentations that require a broad search for variants across\nthe spectrum. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last few years, advances in next-generation sequencing\ntechnologies have decreased the cost of sequencing, improved accuracy, and also\nhas improved the turnaround time of generating the data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Genes2Me<\/strong> offers Clinical Exome Sequencing test for known inherited disorders which covers all exons for ~8.5K genes associated with various diseases.
