What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing an undiagnosed medical condition that doctors haven't been able to pin down despite multiple tests. It's especially helpful if you have a complex set of symptoms, a family history of unexplained genetic conditions, or if previous genetic testing came back inconclusive. Many people use this test as a next step after years of searching for answers about a rare or unusual health condition.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will appear in your secure online account, with an explanation of what each finding means and how it compares to expected genetic patterns. Because this is a complex genetic test, next steps often involve genetic counseling to interpret the findings in the context of your health history and family planning. A full downloadable lab report is available in your account at any time, and you can revisit your results whenever you need to reference them. Since this is a one-time diagnostic test rather than a marker that changes over time, retesting isn't typically needed unless new symptoms or family history warrant it.

What's included in this test?

This test performs whole exome sequencing, analyzing the protein-coding regions of approximately 20,000 genes, along with whole exome deletion/duplication analysis to detect single-nucleotide variants, indels, and larger missing or duplicated genetic segments. This gives a broad, detailed look at genetic factors that could explain complex or unusual health conditions, since although the exome is only about 1% of the whole genome, it contains roughly 85% of known disease-causing mutations.

How can I naturally support my overall health while awaiting genetic answers?

While no lifestyle change can alter your genetic code, supporting your body with good sleep, balanced nutrition, regular movement, and stress management can help you feel your best while you pursue a diagnosis. Keeping a detailed symptom journal can also help you and any specialists you work with connect patterns over time. Staying connected with support groups for undiagnosed or rare conditions can provide both practical tips and emotional support during a long diagnostic journey.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days after your sample is processed at the lab. Because whole exome sequencing involves analyzing thousands of genes, this is actually a fast turnaround for this type of complex testing. You'll receive a notification as soon as your results are ready to view in your account.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for individuals with a complex, unspecified genetic disorder that doesn't match a single obvious diagnosis. It's also useful for people with a genetically diverse or heterogeneous condition, or when a specific targeted genetic test simply isn't available for their symptoms. People who've already tried other genetic tests without getting a clear answer often turn to this broader approach next.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Consider this test if you have unexplained developmental delays, unusual combinations of symptoms affecting multiple body systems, or a condition that seems to run in your family without a clear pattern. Symptoms that started early in life and don't fit a known diagnosis are often good candidates for this kind of testing. If you've been through several rounds of testing without answers, that persistent uncertainty itself is a signal this test could help.

What is whole exome sequencing and why does it matter?

Whole exome sequencing reads the protein-coding parts of your genes, which make up about 1% of your entire genetic code but contain roughly 85% of known disease-causing genetic changes. This makes it a highly efficient way to search for a genetic explanation without sequencing your entire genome. It matters because it can uncover a diagnosis in 20-60% of cases, especially for severe conditions that appear early in life.

How often should I retest?

Whole exome sequencing is generally a one-time test since your genetic code doesn't change over time. Retesting is usually only considered if new symptoms develop, if newer sequencing technology becomes available with better detection, or if a close family member's diagnosis raises new questions relevant to your case. Most people only need this test once in their lifetime.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If your results show a genetic change linked to a health condition, the report will explain what that finding typically means and how it relates to your symptoms. Genetic counseling is strongly recommended to help translate the technical findings into practical next steps for your health and family planning. In the meantime, keep a record of your symptoms and family health history, as this information is valuable for interpreting your results and planning any further care.
