Detailed explanation-1: -Each gene has protein-coding regions that are referred to as exons. The human genome contains about 180, 000 exons, which are collectively called an exome. An exome comprises about 1% of the human genome and hence is about 30 million nucleotides in size.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is the Difference Between the Whole Genome and the Exome? The complete genomic information within a sample or individual is known as the whole genome. Exons are the genome’s protein-coding regions and are collectively known as the exome.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a gene, it is the exons which contain the genetic code for proteins. The exome refers to all the exons in a genome. The exome is a small proportion of the human genome – less than 2%.

Detailed explanation-4: -If a mutation in one or more of these 57 genes is identified, it will be included in the secondary findings section of your or your child’s report.
