Description
Estimated cost for Genetic Sequencing at general public hospitals in China is about ¥1400-12000, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥2000-15000, varying by hospital tier and region.
Main Uses
Gene sequencing is primarily used for diagnosing genetic disorders, identifying hereditary cancer risks, guiding personalized medicine and treatment plans, prenatal screening, and in research to understand the genetic basis of diseases. It's applicable in scenarios where a genetic cause is suspected for a patient's symptoms or condition, or when assessing risk factors for certain diseases within families.
Normal Range
For gene sequencing, there is no universal 'normal range' as it depends on the specific genes being analyzed. However, a normal result typically indicates that no pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants were detected in the genes tested.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Gene sequencing does not produce values that can be categorized as 'low'. Instead, an absence of expected genetic material or mutations might indicate: deletion of genetic material, technical issues with the test, sample contamination, or mosaicism where only some cells carry the mutation.
High Values - Possible Causes
Similarly, gene sequencing results are not described in terms of 'high' values. An increase in copy number variations (CNVs) or presence of multiple mutations could suggest: duplication of genetic material, polyploidy, or complex rearrangements such as translocations or inversions.
