Frequently Asked Questions
What is Whole Genome Sequencing?
Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) is a laboratory-developed genetic test that is performed using DNA extracted from 1 mL of whole blood. WGS examines your genome to determine if any genetic variants associated with hereditary diseases are detected. This test also identifies if you are a carrier of certain variants that may not affect your own health but could impact your children. This test is intended as a health risk screening test. It is not a test for the diagnosis of disease.
What is the cost of Whole Genome Sequencing?
Human Longevity offers Genomics + Labs at $2,900. Whole Genome Sequencing is also included in all other diagnostic packages. For customized pricing based on your specific health needs, please contact our Human Longevity Sales Team.
How is WGS different from other genetic tests like 23andMe?
Unlike consumer-grade tests that analyze less than 1% of your genome, WGS provides complete sequencing of all your genes. It offers clinical-grade accuracy (99.9%), making it suitable for medical use. Additionally, WGS identifies rare genetic conditions, provides insights for family planning, and offers pharmacogenomic data.
What is Carrier Status?
Carriers of a specific genetic disorder have a disease-causing variant in one copy of the gene associated with that disorder. Carriers do not typically have a clinical presentation, but their children have a 50% chance of inheriting their genetic variant.
If a child inherits two disease-causing variants in the same gene from each parent, they will be affected with that specific genetic disorder.
Who should consider Whole Genome Sequencing?
WGS is ideal for:
- Individuals looking to proactively manage their health.
- People with a family history of genetic conditions.
- Those seeking personalized medication insights (pharmacogenomics).
- Parents-to-be who want to understand potential genetic risks for their children.
Do I need a referral from my doctor to come to Human Longevity?
No, a referral isn’t required. We provide you with comprehensive health data, which you can share with your primary care physician.
How does Whole Genome Sequencing help with hereditary disease risk?
Our reports include insights from over 2,100 well-established gene-disease associations. These associations help identify your risk for genetic conditions, enabling early detection and prevention strategies.
Can this Whole Genome Sequencing improve how medications are prescribed?
Yes! The pharmacogenomics section in our reports covers 94% of the top 50 prescribed drugs that require genetic information for safe and effective use. This ensures your prescriptions are tailored to your genetic profile, reducing side effects and improving outcomes.
What is polygenic risk assessment, and how does it help?
Polygenic risk assessment looks at multiple genetic factors to evaluate your risk for over 30 common diseases. This helps you and your clinician take proactive steps to manage or prevent conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and more.
How can Whole Genome Sequencing improve my lifestyle choices?
Our reports provide personalized insights into nutritional and wellness traits. These findings guide lifestyle and dietary recommendations tailored to your unique genetic makeup, helping you optimize your overall health and longevity.
Where are you located?
Human Longevity has locations in San Diego, San Francisco, with plans to open additional locations globally.
