Description

Whole-exome sequencing (WES) is targeted sequence analysis of the protein-coding region of the human genome. The exome represents less than 2% of the genome but is estimated to contain about 85% of known disease-related variants. PMID: 19861545 Variant types include single nucleotide variants (SNVs), small DNA insertions or deletions (indels), copy number variants (CNVs), or other structural variants (SVs). PMID: 25288881 WES and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) [LOINC: 86206-0] are performed to identify the cause of heritable diseases and for various other applications, including population genetics and cancer studies. Sequencing only the coding regions of the genome is currently less expensive than WGS since less genetic material is sequenced. Source: Regenstrief LOINC
