Introduction to Clinical Exome Sequencing (CES)- Carrier (Single)

Clinical exome sequencing (CES) is a genetic test that analyzes the coding regions of genes that may be associated with disease. Doctors may recommend CES to people suspected of genetic disorders or those with a family history. Compared to traditional genetic testing for single genes, CES offers a broader search for diagnosis in single tests.

Clinical exome sequencing (CES) single test is a genetic test that analyzes all the protein-coding regions of genes in both partners of a couple. This can be helpful for couples who are planning a pregnancy and have a family history of genetic disorders or who have had previous miscarriages or children with congenital disabilities.

The test helps to identify whether both partners are carriers of a genetic mutation for the same autosomal recessive condition. Moreover, the test results help partners make informed decisions about their reproductive options, such as prenatal testing and preimplantation genetic diagnosis. If you are confused about taking the test, consult your doctor and take the CES-carrier single test. 

Test details in brief:

Purpose of the Clinical Exome Sequencing CES Carrier Single Test

The Carrier Single part of the Clinical Exome Sequencing (CES) Carrier Single Test narrows the focus of a regular CES test. Here is the purpose- 

• The test analyzes a large panel of genes linked to various diseases, searching for mutations that might explain a person's illness.
• The test focuses on just one specific gene associated with a particular condition. This is helpful for people considering family planning.
• The test helps to determine if you carry a mutation for a specific genetic disease.
• It helps to assess the risk of passing the disease to children.
• Useful for couples with a family history or unexplained pregnancy issues.

Preparation for the Clinical Exome Sequencing CES Carrier Single Test

The CES Carrier Single Test requires no special preparation before the test. Simply follow the general instructions-

• Fasting- You don’t need to fast before the CES test. You can eat and drink as usual before the test.
• Medications and supplements- If you take any medications or supplements, then consult your medicines with your doctor before considering the test. 

The procedure of the Clinical Exome Sequencing CES Carrier Single Test

The CES carrier single test is done using a DNA or blood sample. The type of sample may vary from lab to lab. 

Blood sample

• The phlebotomist asks for the sleeves to be folded and then ties a band on the arm to make the veins clearer. He then uses an antiseptic solution to reduce the risk of infection.
• After that, he will use a sterile needle to collect the sample. You might feel slight pain during the sample collection, but it will get normal in a few minutes.
• After sampling the collection, the phlebotomist will put a cotton gauze or bandage to stop bleeding.
• Ultimately, the sample will be sent to the laboratory for analysis. 

What do the Clinical Exome Sequencing CES Carrier Single Test reports indicate?

Clinical Exome Sequencing (CES) Carrier Single Test reports show the specific genes looking for mutations that might be passed onto offspring. Here's what the reports indicate:

• Carrier Status- The test reports will reveal whether you carry a mutation in the tested gene. Carriers have one mutated copy and one healthy copy of the gene and usually don't show symptoms themselves. 
• Variant Classification- The report will categorize any identified mutations based on their potential impact. Terms like "pathogenic" or "likely pathogenic" indicate a high chance the mutation causes the associated disease. "Variant of Uncertain Significance" (VUS) means the mutation's effect is unclear and requires further investigation.
• Disease Implications—If a pathogenic mutation is found, the report shows a high risk of developing disease or having children with the condition.

Who should take the Clinical Exome Sequencing CES Carrier Single Test?

The Clinical Exome Sequencing (CES) Carrier Single Test is recommended for people in specific situations related to family planning and carrier screening. Here is who should take the test-

• Couples with a family history of a specific genetic disease
• Having a partner who carries a mutation
• Repeated miscarriages

How Can the CES Carrier Single Test Help?

The CES Carrier Single Test offers several advantages for couples planning a pregnancy, especially those with a family history of genetic disorders or pregnancy complications. The test analyzes both partners' genes, focusing on the protein-coding regions. Knowing your career status allows you to make informed choices about family planning. 

Moreover, couples planning a pregnancy can get help from valuable information about potential genetic risks. However, consulting with a genetic counselor is crucial to discuss the test's benefits, risks, and limitations before making a decision.
