Patients with rare diseases have much to gain from whole genome testing. Many times a condition may be so rare that physicians have not diagnosed or seen that particular condition.   “On average from the time that a first symptom appears, an individual might see anywhere from 16 to 17 healthcare specialists before they get their diagnosis,” says Collins. “And that period of time on average is about seven to 10 years, which is a pretty significant amount of time that patients are searching for answers and trying to find out the cause of their medical issues.”
