Whole Exome Sequencing Market Definition

Whole exome is a genomic technique for sequencing all of the protein-coding region of genes in a genome. Whole exome sequencing is available to patients who are searching for a unifying diagnosis for multiple medical conditions. A laboratory process that is used to determine the nucleotide sequence primarily of the exonic (or protein-coding) regions of an individual’s genome and related sequences, representing approximately 1% of the complete DNA sequence, also called WES. Whole-exome sequencing is a widely used whole exome sequencing method that involves sequencing the protein-coding regions of the genome. The human exome represents less than 2% of the genome, but contains ~85% of known disease-related variants, making this method a cost-effective alternative to whole-genome sequencing.

Exome sequencing using exome enrichment can efficiently detect coding variants across a wide range of applications, including population genetics, genetic disease and cancer studies. The growth of the global whole exome sequencing market is attributed to the reduction in time and cost for sequencing. With the development of new technologies and cancer cure treatment, the whole exome sequencing market in clinical oncology has huge potential in the coming years.

Middle East & Africa Whole Exome Sequencing Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increase in the adoption of next generation sequencing (NGS)

As genomics-focused pharmacology continues to play a greater role in the treatment of various chronic diseases especially cancer, next-generation sequencing (NGS) is evolving as a powerful tool for providing a deeper and more precise insight at molecular underpinnings of individual tumours and specific receptors.

NGS offers advantages in accuracy, sensitivity and speed compared to traditional methods that have the potential to make a significant impact on the field of oncology. Because NGS can assess multiple genes in a single assay, the need to order multiple tests to identify the causative mutation is eliminated.

• Growing usage of targeted sequencing methods

Restraint

• Less comprehensive coverage of exons

All the exons are not comprehensively captured. The exon of importance may not be included in the current standard annotations of the human genome; and it is merely arduous to cover 100% of the exome with the current WES technology. Consequently, disease-causing variants in these “missed” exons go undetected.

WES has low sensitivity for structural variations, hence detection is limited. Nonetheless some CNVs, including indels and duplications, can be detected by WES, the technical limitation implies that others are likely missed

Opportunity

• Strategic Initiatives by the key market player

The demand for whole exome sequencing is increasing in the market owing to the increased incidence of genetic disease along with increased geriatric population across the region. Thus, the top market players have implemented the strategy of collaboration with other market players aimed at improving business operations and profitability.

Challenge

• Ethical and legal issues related to whole exome sequencing

Rapid advances in high throughput genomic technologies and next generation sequencing are making medical genomic research more readily accessible and affordable, including the sequencing of patient and control whole genomes and exomes in order to elucidate genetic factors underlying disease. Progress of high throughput genomic technologies and next generation sequencing (NGS) methods in recent years has changed the scope of human genomic studies. These advances have made it feasible to routinely perform whole exome sequencing (WES) studies.

Due to the large-scale, collaborative nature of studies, ethical and legal issues are of increasing concern and have important implications in Africa. African populations are of unique interest because, despite having the highest levels of genetic diversity, living in a vast array of environmental and cultural settings, as well as suffering from a high burden of disease that could be studied using genomics approaches, they are facing legal issues in WES.

Post COVID-19 Impact on Whole Exome Sequencing Market

COVID-19 has resulted in a substantial upsurge in demand for medical supplies from both healthcare professionals and the general public for precautionary measures. Manufacturers of these items have an opportunity to take advantage of the increased demand for medical supplies by ensuring a steady supply of personal protective equipment on the market. COVID-19 is anticipated to have a big impact on the whole exome sequencing market.

Recent Development

• In May, 2022, Thermo Fisher Scientific, the world leader in serving science, and Qatar Genome Program (QGP), a member of Qatar Foundation (QF), have partnered with the goal of accelerating genomic research and clinical applications of predictive genomics in Qatar as a step toward expanding the benefits of precision medicine across Arab populations globally. This has helped the company to expand its presence.
• In March, 2022, several leading genomics companies and laboratories, including Illumina, Fulgent Genetics, Invitae, GeneDx, and PerkinElmer Genomics, have formed the CardioGenomic Testing Alliance (CGTA), a collaborative group aimed at raising awareness and utilization of genomic testing in cardiology. CGTA seeks to educate healthcare providers and other stakeholders about the value of such testing to assure adherence to existing guidelines from professional medical societies, to inform medical management and cascade testing, and to improve clinical outcomes. This has helped company to adhere to guidelines.
