How it supports the diagnostic journey
Additional information
Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) is one of the most comprehensive genetic testing approaches available today. Unlike targeted tests that focus on specific genes or selected regions, WGS examines nearly the entire genome, providing a broader view of genetic variation that may contribute to disease.
WGS may be considered in complex diagnostic situations where previous investigations have not provided clear answers, or when physicians require a more complete genomic assessment. By analyzing coding and non-coding regions of DNA, WGS can help identify genetic variants that may be associated with inherited disorders, rare diseases, neurological conditions, and other unexplained clinical presentations.
At Mass Diagnostics, WGS testing is coordinated through trusted international partner laboratories, with support for test selection, sample collection, logistics, and report delivery. Our goal is to help patients and physicians access advanced genomic technologies while maintaining clarity throughout the testing journey.
