ExomeDx by WGS Duo
Use
ExomeDx by WGS Duo is a clinical diagnostic test intended to identify genetic variants across the coding regions of the genome for individuals with suspected genetic disorders. As a duo-based exome sequencing test, it analyzes both the affected individual and a relative to improve variant interpretation and inheritance pattern elucidation.
Special Instructions
Test is available only as duo (patient plus one relative). A completed test order and, if required, relative consents must be submitted. Clinical notes and family history documentation are recommended to support interpretation.
Limitations
Limitations include those inherent to exome sequencing: inability to detect deep intronic or regulatory region variants, structural variants beyond exon-level CNVs, mitochondrial variants unless additional testing is done, and limitations in repetitive or GC-rich regions. Duo testing improves interpretation, but residual uncertainty remains.
