Whole Genome Sequencing

Indications for the Analysis

Sequencing is prescribed to identify the causes of rare diseases, in cases of complex diagnostics, as well as in families with a predisposition to oncology, cardiovascular, and neurological disorders. The analysis can also be useful for pregnancy planning, early detection of hereditary syndromes, and preventive examinations.

Advantages of Whole Genome Sequencing

The method allows the identification of mutations in both coding and non-coding regions of DNA, as well as rare gene variants that may influence disease development. Doctors obtain a complete picture of the genetic material, making interpretation more accurate. For the patient, this means a personalized approach to treatment and prevention.

How Does the Genome Sequencing Process Work?

The study begins with collecting a blood or saliva sample in a laboratory. DNA is then extracted from the material and analyzed using high-throughput sequencing technologies. After obtaining the data, specialists perform bioinformatic processing, compile a report, and deliver the results to a geneticist.

Interpretation of the Results

The report contains information about detected genetic variations and their associations with diseases. The genetic specialist explains the results, indicates the level of risk, and provides recommendations. In some cases, the obtained data help to design individualized treatment plans or prevent disease development.

Specialists and Their Qualifications

The analysis is carried out by certified geneticists and molecular biology specialists. Their task is not only to perform the study but also to accurately interpret the results, taking into account the patient’s clinical characteristics.

Genome Sequencing in Russia

Clinics

In Russia, whole genome sequencing is offered by leading medical centers in Moscow and other cities. Russian laboratories use modern sequencing platforms and adhere to international quality standards.

Cost

In Russian clinics, the price of whole genome sequencing starts from 1,200 USD. The final amount depends on the laboratory, turnaround time, scope of interpretation, and consultation services. Patients can receive a detailed cost estimate in advance.

MARUS Assistance

MARUS helps patients arrange full genome sequencing in Russia: select a suitable clinic, clarify the price, prepare documentation, and obtain a genetic consultation based on the results.

The procedure can be organized remotely — without the need to travel to Russia: samples are sent by courier delivery, and consultations and result reports are conducted online.

This support makes the process as convenient as possible and allows the patient to focus on their health.
