Meet 3B-EXOME V2: Broader Coverage, Deeper Insights
- Genetic test | 25. 07. 14

Exome sequencing is a powerful tool—but sometimes, it doesn’t go deep enough.
When a diagnosis is missed, it’s often because the answer lies in genomic regions beyond traditional coverage.
That’s why we’re introducing 3B-EXOME V2, the enhanced version of our clinical exome test.
Designed to reach further, cover more, and deliver greater diagnostic confidence.
🔍 What’s New in 3B-EXOME V2?
1. Coverage of Non-coding Genes with Known Pathogenic Variants
Non-coding genes like RNU4-2 and CHASERR are now included, capturing pathogenic variants that were previously inaccessible.

V2 improves coverage of structurally complex non-coding genes, adding diagnostic value.

📊 Image 2. RNU4-2 coverage comparison
The V2 panel ensures uniform coverage across the entire gene, enabling detection of deep intronic variants.
2. Expanded Intron and CNV Detection in Treatable Genes
3B-EXOME V2 captures variants that matter clinically, not just scientifically.
We’ve enhanced coverage of genes with approved or investigational therapies, including:
- GLA, RPE65, DDC, NF1, TPP1, TTR
- Supports detection of deep intronic variants and single-exon CNVs
3. Mitochondrial Genome Coverage Up to 2000x
Mitochondrial disorders are often underdiagnosed due to insufficient sequencing depth.
With 3B-EXOME V2, average mitochondrial genome coverage reaches 2000x,
allowing for confident detection of heteroplasmy down to 5%.

4. Updated Non-coding Variant Database
We’ve included non-coding P/LP variants submitted to ClinVar after the release of V1.
This ensures you’re not missing actionable deep intron or UTR variants validated in recent years.
