    sequencing all protein-coding regions of genes in a genome

    Whole-Exome Sequencing (WES) is a genomic technique that involves sequencing all the protein-coding regions of genes in a genome, known as exons. These regions make up about 1-2% of the human genome but contain around 85% of known disease-related genetic variants, making WES a powerful tool for identifying genetic mutations associated with various conditions, including alopecia.
