Overview
The 2x150 HiSeq Sequencing (20GB) is a high-throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS) service offered by DNA Labs India. It utilizes the Illumina HiSeq platform to generate 20 gigabytes of sequencing data, providing comprehensive coverage of the human exome or targeted gene panels. This advanced technology enables the detection of genetic variants, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions/deletions (indels), and copy number variations (CNVs), which are crucial for diagnosing a wide range of genetic disorders. The test is particularly valuable for patients presenting with unexplained symptoms such as developmental delays, intellectual disability, congenital anomalies, or a family history of genetic conditions. By identifying the underlying genetic cause, healthcare providers can offer accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized management plans. DNA Labs India ensures rigorous quality control and bioinformatics analysis, delivering a detailed report that is interpretable by clinical geneticists and other specialists. With a turnaround time of 4 weeks and free home sample collection across major Indian cities, this test is accessible and convenient for patients nationwide.

The primary purpose of the 2x150 HiSeq Sequencing (20GB) is to identify genetic mutations that may be responsible for a patient's symptoms. It serves as a powerful diagnostic tool for inherited disorders, enabling early intervention and informed reproductive decisions. The test is also used for pharmacogenomic profiling, carrier screening, and prenatal diagnosis in certain cases. By providing a comprehensive analysis of the genetic code, it helps clinicians differentiate between similar conditions and tailor treatment strategies to the individual's genetic makeup.

Frequently asked questions
What is 2x150 HiSeq Sequencing?
It is a next-generation sequencing method using Illumina HiSeq platform with paired-end 150 base pair reads, generating 20 GB of data for comprehensive genetic analysis.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 50000, which includes sequencing, data analysis, and a detailed report.
What sample is required?
Extracted DNA is required. We provide a DNA collection tube for blood or saliva samples.
How long does it take to get results?
Reports are typically delivered within 4 weeks.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, we offer free home sample collection for online bookings across major cities in India.
What conditions can this test diagnose?
It can help diagnose a wide range of genetic disorders, including developmental delays, intellectual disability, congenital anomalies, and inherited cancer syndromes.
Do I need to fast before the test?
No, fasting is not required.
Will my insurance cover the cost?
Insurance coverage varies; we recommend checking with your provider. We also offer cash payment options.
What is the difference between this and whole exome sequencing?
This test generates 20 GB of data, which may cover the exome or targeted regions, while whole exome sequencing typically targets all protein-coding genes. The choice depends on clinical indication.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The test is safe. The main risks are minimal bruising at the blood draw site and potential psychological impact of results.
Can this test be done during pregnancy?
Yes, but it is typically used for prenatal diagnosis only in specific situations. Consult your obstetrician or genetic counselor.
How should I interpret the results?
Results should be interpreted by a qualified geneticist or healthcare provider. The report includes variant classifications and clinical significance.
