Introduction
AssuriT-eWES-Dx is a next-generation triple-in-one molecular diagnostic solution that integrates Whole Exome Sequencing (WES), Chromosomal Microarray Analysis (CMA), and CNV-seq technologies into a single assay. Designed for prenatal diagnostics, pediatrics, oncology, and reproductive medicine, it enables simultaneous detection of sequence variants (SNVs/indels), structural variants (CNVs), mitochondrial disorders, and uniparental disomy (UPD) with unparalleled efficiency.
Technology Highlights
Expanded Capture Design: Augments standard WES with:
• Genome-wide high-density SNP backbone (CMA-equivalent resolution)
• Enhanced probes for ClinGen-curated CNV regions, GC-rich/repetitive regions
• Targeted coverage of critical genes (e.g., DMD, SMN1/2, HBA1/2)
Comprehensive detection:
Sequence variants: Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and indels (1–50 bp)
Structural variants: Exon-level CNVs (100 bp–100 kb), chromosome-level aneuploidies/CNVs (>100 kb)
Specialized variants: Mitochondrial genome mutations, uniparental disomy (UPD), 13 repeat expansion disorders
Full Automation: Supports end-to-end workflow from extraction to reporting
Platform Flexibility: Compatible with multiple sequencing platforms.
Clinical Indications:
• Prenatal diagnosis of fetal structural anomalies
• Unexplained neurodevelopmental disorders
• Suspected genetic syndromes with heterogeneous presentations
• Recurrent pregnancy loss or family history of genetic diseases
• Tumor profiling and inherited cancer risk assessment
Target Population:
Prenatal cases with abnormal ultrasound findings
Pediatric patients with undiagnosed complex phenotypes
Oncology patients requiring comprehensive genomic profiling
Couples with consanguinity or recurrent reproductive failures
