Whole Exome Sequencing


A comprehensive testing solution with enhanced gene coverage

whole exome sequencing

The whole exome sequencing (WES) test is designed to provide an enhanced coverage of the protein coding regions of the genes (exons), including the known disease-causing regions. We also include curated deep-intronic and promoter pathogenic variants in our test, which allows for a better understanding of the genetic basis of diseases.

We use advanced technology to provide exon-level copy number variant (CNV) calling and detect the CNVs, as well as the use of custom breakpoint capture baits to ensure the inclusion of additional common deletion events.

At Revvity Omics, we are committed to delivering high-quality and reliable results to our clients with unparalleled efficiency.

Enhanced coverage of genes and clinically relevant regions

  • Greater than 97% of the Exome covered at >20x coverage.
  • Average read depth of 100x
  • Known disease associated genes and regions, non-coding clinical variants as well as other clinically relevant regions included.

Mini-genomes for select rare disorders

Full coverage of DMD and 40 additional genes associated with rare diseases.

Includes analysis of mitochondrial DNA

Sequence variants with ≥5% heteroplasmy related to the clinical presentation are reported.

Reliable detection of exon-level copy number events

Additional breakpoints included to enhance the detection of CNVs related to the patient’s phenotype.

Opt-in: secondary findings

  • ACMG recommended incidental findings: changes in a specific subset of highly penetrant and medically actionable genes*
  • Pharmacogenomic variants: changes in DNA that do not cause a disease but may be related to how certain medications are metabolized by the patient
  • Carrier status: changes in over 300 genes associated with autosomal recessive conditions that are not related to the clinical phenotype*
  • Diagnostic findings in all other disease-causing genes not related to the clinical phenotype: changes in other genes beyond the ACMG suggested list that are unrelated to the clinical indications at the time of testing*

*Only pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants are reported.

How to order

1. Choose your test

Select the correct test for your patient and download and fill out the Clinical Genomics test requisition form.

  • Please make sure that all sections are completed, and that the patient has signed an informed consent form.
  • If a TRIO is ordered, please feel out the “Familial Information” section for tracking purposes.
2. Collect a sample

Obtain a sample for testing from the patient using one of the provided Revvity Omics test packs. If you do not have a kit available in your office, please contact us here and we can have one sent out to your office.

  • Ensure that all samples are labeled with the patient’s name and date of birth.
  • For Trio tests, parental and/or family member samples can be submitted separately from the patient/proband, if needed. Additional samples must be received by the laboratory within three weeks of the original patient/proband submission.
  • All parental/family member samples must be submitted with a fully completed requisition and informed consent form, complete with both physician and patient signatures.
3. Send a sample

Package the patient sample, informed consent form, and test requisition form back into the test kit, and utilize the included pre-paid shipping label to return the kit to Revvity Omics for processing.

  • As a patient’s clinical presentation is an essential part of fully interpreting genetic test results, we ask that you kindly include any applicable medical records or clinical notes with the sample at the time of test submission.
