What is Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)?
Whole Exome Sequencing reads the ~1-2% of your DNA that codes for proteins (where the large majority of known disease-causing variants are found) across roughly 20,000 genes at once. It's typically used when a child or adult has symptoms suggestive of a genetic condition but no specific gene is suspected — a single broad test instead of ordering many individual gene tests one at a time. Results are interpreted by a geneticist and usually take 2-4 weeks.
Why is Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) done?
- Reads the protein-coding regions (the exome) of about 20,000 genes in a single test — where most known disease-causing variants are found.
- Used to look for a genetic cause when a child or adult has symptoms but no single gene is clearly suspected.
- Can end a long series of inconclusive tests and give a family a name for the condition, with implications for treatment, outlook and family planning.
Who may be advised to take Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)?
- Children with developmental delay, intellectual disability, or epilepsy of unknown cause.
- People with multiple birth defects or a suspected rare genetic condition that has no clear diagnosis.
- Families where earlier genetic tests, such as a karyotype or microarray, were normal.
- Seriously unwell babies and children where a genetic cause is suspected.

Good to know
- A cause is found in a substantial minority of cases — often around a quarter to a third in published studies — so 'no cause found' does not rule out a genetic condition.
- Testing the child together with both parents (a 'trio') often makes interpretation easier.
- It can miss some kinds of change (such as repeat expansions and variants in non-coding DNA) and may reveal uncertain or unrelated findings — counselling before and after is important.

Do I need to fast before Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)?
No fasting is required for this test.
What does Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) include?
Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) covers 1 parameter: ~20,000 protein-coding genes.
Are there limitations to Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)?
A cause is found in a substantial minority of cases — often around a quarter to a third in published studies — so 'no cause found' does not rule out a genetic condition. Testing the child together with both parents (a 'trio') often makes interpretation easier. It can miss some kinds of change (such as repeat expansions and variants in non-coding DNA) and may reveal uncertain or unrelated findings — counselling before and after is important.
