Whole genome sequencing-based genetic testing service
What makes 3B-GENOME different?

The most extensive genetic test to cover whole genome

3B-GENOME detects and interprets variants based on Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), a test technique that covers the entire human genome.

High diagnostic rate
WGS tests have the highest diagnostic rate among all the other genetic tests, and WGS tests have approximately 7-8% higher diagnostic rates than WES tests.
Structural Variation (SV) covered
WGS tests detect Structural Variations (SV), including a single exon CNV or balanced chromosomal arrangement.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) covered
WGS tests detect pathogenic variants in mtDNA having higher depth-of-coverage than WES.

What is the
Family Insight Test?

A premium WGS solution for families facing reproductive challenges or inherited risks.
We uncover hidden genetic causes to guide accurate diagnosis and future clinical management.

Who should consider this test?

Reproductive Loss

Uncover the hidden genetic "WHY" behind recurrent miscarriages or fetal death.

Genetic Legacy

Assess inherited risks proactively to guide informed future family planning.

Alternative Path

Provide definitive answers even when testing the affected family member is not possible.

Consanguinity

Deliver clinical clarity for individuals from high-risk consanguineous families.

    You can consider 3B-GENOME in the following circumstances

    To examine all variants with a single test
    A single test can cover all variants, including Structural Variants.
    Showing non-specific symptoms
    When the doctor suspects a genetic disease but the disease cannot only be diagnosed with the patient's phenotypes, the patient/doctor can consider a WGS.
    Undiagnosed after a WES test
    Even after a WES-based genetic test, if disease-causing variants are still not detected, a WGS test should be considered.
