Gene-TEK™
Gene-TEK™ is Virotek’s whole-genome sequencing-based diagnostic test. By reading the entire 3 billion letters of patients’ DNA, we provide an unprecedented level of detail across their entire genome.
Order TestWho Is Gene-TEK™ For?
Gene-TEK™ supports diverse and complex clinical cases.
Diagnostic Challenges
Patients with negative exome results who still lack a diagnosis.
Unclear Hereditary Patterns
Families where hereditary conditions span generations but remain unidentified by standard testing.
Health Assessment Programs
Healthcare programs requiring complete genomic profiling of their patients.
The Ultimate Genomic Blueprint
Gene-TEK™ is designed primarily for the diagnosis of complex and unresolved genetic conditions. Beyond its core diagnostic power, it also delivers comprehensive coverage across a broad range of additional genomic areas:
Hereditary cancer screening
Solid tumors and hematopoietic malignancies across high-penetrance cancer predisposition genes.
Clinically actionable hereditary conditions
ACMG-recommended and institutionally prioritized findings with clear management implications.
Carrier screening
Serious recessive and X-linked disorders relevant to reproductive planning and family history.
Pharmacogenomic profiling
Extensive PGx coverage to support medication selection and dosing across major drug classes.
Polygenic risk scores
PRS for 19 common diseases to complement monogenic findings in preventive care planning.
Structural variation & HLA
Copy-number changes and detailed HLA analysis for immunogenetics and advanced drug response.
Why Should You Choose Gene-TEK™?
The Complete Picture: Gene-TEK™ analyzes both coding and non-coding regulatory regions, identifying structural variants that are invisible to exome or panel testing.
Clinic-Led Customization: We partner with clinics to allow for customized test configurations. Whether a clinic is interested in specific metabolic pathways or unique neurological markers, Virotek can adapt the Gene-TEK™ analysis to meet those institutional goals.
Future-Proof Health: Data can be reanalyzed as knowledge advances, without treating the test as useful only once.
Clinical Utility & Implementation Tips
Gene-TEK™ provides clinicians with a high-yield diagnostic tool for rare and undiagnosed conditions. To maximize the effectiveness of Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) in your clinic, we suggest the following strategies:
-
Standardized Phenotype Documentation: Use consistent, detailed tools to document clinical features — accurate phenotyping significantly improves variant prioritization and interpretation.
-
Established Counseling Protocols: Implement a formal pre-test counseling protocol to ensure patients understand the test’s scope, including the potential for incidental findings.
-
Specialist Referral Pathways: Establish clear referral pathways to genetics specialists for patients who receive complex or pathogenic findings.
-
Periodic Data Reanalysis: Consider reanalyzing genome data every 1–2 years, as evolving medical knowledge may yield new answers even after an initial negative result.
How It Works
From sample to clinically annotated whole-genome report.
