What does Trio Whole Exome Sequencing involve?

Trio Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) analyzes the protein-coding regions of the genome for the child (proband) and both biological parents. By comparing the three genetic profiles, our clinical team can identify de novo mutations or inherited variants linked to the child's condition. The process involves a simple blood or saliva sample from each family member, followed by advanced sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. Results are interpreted by board-certified geneticists and pediatric specialists, with a typical turnaround of 4–6 weeks.
