What Types of Mutations Can Exome Sequencing Identify?
Exome sequencing can identify various types of genetic alterations: - Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs): Changes of a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence. - Insertions and Deletions (Indels): Small insertions or deletions of bases in the DNA sequence. - Copy Number Variations (CNVs): Variations in the number of copies of a particular gene. - Structural Variants: Large rearrangements such as translocations, inversions, and duplications.
