Overview
Human Exome Sequencing and Analysis using the SureSelect V6 target capture system is a comprehensive genetic test that sequences the protein-coding regions of the genome, known as the exome. Although the exome constitutes only about 1-2% of the entire genome, it harbors approximately 85% of known disease-causing variants. This test is particularly valuable for diagnosing rare genetic disorders, identifying carrier status, and guiding personalized treatment plans. At DNA Labs India, we offer this advanced diagnostic service at an affordable cost of INR 40000, making it accessible to patients across India. The SureSelect V6 technology ensures high capture efficiency and uniform coverage, enabling accurate detection of single nucleotide variants, insertions/deletions, and copy number variations. The test is performed on extracted DNA from a blood or saliva sample, and results are typically available within 8 weeks. Our team of expert geneticists and molecular biologists ensures rigorous quality control and interpretation of variants according to ACMG guidelines. With free home sample collection available in over 200 cities, DNA Labs India aims to bring world-class genetic testing to every doorstep. Whether you are seeking answers for unexplained symptoms or planning a family, this exome sequencing test can provide crucial insights into your genetic health.

The primary purpose of Human Exome Sequencing is to identify the genetic cause of a suspected inherited disorder. It is often used when other targeted tests have not yielded a diagnosis, or when the clinical presentation is broad and could be due to multiple genes. By analyzing the exome, clinicians can detect pathogenic variants that may explain symptoms such as developmental delay, intellectual disability, congenital anomalies, neurological conditions, and certain cancers. This test also helps in identifying carrier status for recessive disorders, which is valuable for family planning. Additionally, exome sequencing can reveal pharmacogenomic variants that influence drug metabolism, allowing for personalized medication choices. Ultimately, the goal is to provide a definitive molecular diagnosis, which can guide medical management, surveillance, and genetic counseling for the patient and their family.

Frequently asked questions
What is Human Exome Sequencing?
Human Exome Sequencing is a genetic test that sequences the protein-coding regions of the genome (the exome) to identify disease-causing variants. It covers about 1-2% of the genome but contains ~85% of known disease-related mutations.
What is SureSelect V6?
SureSelect V6 is a target capture system used in next-generation sequencing to enrich the exome. It provides high efficiency and accuracy, ensuring comprehensive coverage of disease-relevant genes.
How much does the test cost at DNA Labs India?
The test costs INR 40000, which includes free home sample collection and a comprehensive report. This is a discounted price offered for online bookings.
What sample is required?
The test requires extracted DNA, which is typically obtained from a blood sample or saliva. Our technician will collect the sample at your home or you can visit our lab.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are usually available within 8 weeks from the time the sample is received at the laboratory.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this test. You can eat and drink normally before sample collection.
What conditions can exome sequencing detect?
Exome sequencing can detect variants associated with developmental delay, intellectual disability, congenital anomalies, neurological disorders, cancer syndromes, and many other genetic conditions.
Will the test detect all genetic disorders?
No, exome sequencing does not detect all types of genetic variants, such as large structural rearrangements or repeat expansions. It also may miss variants in non-coding regions.
Can I get the test done if I live in a remote area?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection in over 200 cities across India. Please check if your city is listed or contact us for availability.
Is genetic counseling provided?
Yes, our report includes interpretation by geneticists, and we recommend consulting with a genetic counselor or physician to discuss the results and implications.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
The physical risks are minimal (bruising at blood draw site). However, there may be psychological implications of learning genetic information. We recommend counseling.
How do I book the test?
You can book online through our website or call our customer care. We will schedule a home sample collection at your convenience.
