What is the difference between whole gene testing and general consumer gene testing?

Whole-gene detection is a kind of gene detection that sequences all genes in a person's genome. Compared with ordinary DTC gene detection, the main difference lies in the analysis of gene information. General consumer gene testing only sequences one or several genes, while whole gene testing is to detect all genes in a person's genome, with a wider range of testing items, including 505 testing items in six categories. Let's look at the difference between whole gene testing and general consumer gene testing. 1. What is the significance of whole gene testing?

Whole-genome detection, also known as whole-genome detection, refers to sequencing all genes in an individual genome, determining the base sequence of DNA (A/T/C/G), analyzing and interpreting biological information, screening pathogenic and susceptible genes, and studying disease risk and genetic mechanism.

Through whole gene testing, we can screen genetic diseases, evaluate genetic information, gain personal sensitivity to environmental impact, avoid adverse environmental stimuli in time and receive professional prevention guidance, professional screening, help prevent and delay the occurrence of diseases, and facilitate doctors to provide personalized medication guidance.

Second, what is the difference between whole gene testing and general consumer gene testing?

Compared with DTC gene detection, the main difference lies in the analysis of gene information:

1. General consumer-grade gene detection only sequences one or several genes, or specific fragments or base pairs at specific sites of genes.

2. Whole-gene detection is the sequencing of all genetic information carried by organisms, including the sequencing of all gene and non-gene base pairs on all chromosomes and the sequencing of base pairs on mitochondrial ribosomes, which covers the whole gene sequence and has a wider detection range, and is usually more expensive than the general DTC gene detection.

Three, the whole gene detection * * * how many items?

Whole gene testing is to sequence all genes in a person's genome. There are about 25,000 genes in the human body, so there are many whole gene testing items. There are 505 test items in six categories, including:

1, mendelian hereditary diseases 190.

2. The risk of polygenic diseases is 159.

3, accurate medication 102.

4. Personal characteristics 19.

5. Nutritional metabolism 18.

6. Exercise and fitness 17.
