CGC Genetics - NGS

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) allows the sequencing analysis, in a single test, of a gene, several genes (panel) or the whole exome. This technology provided a breakthrough in genetic diagnostic yield, reducing turnaround time and cost. However, please note that not all options available offer the same coverage (percentage of evaluated target regions), coverage depth (number of times that a target region is sequenced or read) and, therefore, the same diagnostic yield.
