3B-GENOME
Whole genome sequencing-based
genetic testing service
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
(SV) covered
WGS tests detect Structural Variations (SV), including a single exon CNV or balanced chromosomal arrangement.
Mitochondrial DNA
(mtDNA) covered
(mtDNA) covered
WGS tests detect pathogenic variants in mtDNA having higher depth-of-coverage than WES.

See cases diagnosed with
3B-GENOME
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.
FAQs
- Is it possible to check if the patient’s family members also have the variants found in the patient?
- Can I order a test with a buccal swab kit?
- How is 3B-GENOME different from 3B-EXOME?
