The announcement coincides with Rare Disease Day and is just the latest example of the company’s dedication to eradicating the multi-year diagnostic odyssey faced by many families seeking clinical diagnoses for critically ill patients. GeneDx is a leader in rare disease diagnosis and has spent the last 20 years building one of the largest rare disease datasets in the genomics industry, including data from more than 400,000 clinical exomes. These data play a critical role in the company’s research -- and in the insights it delivers to providers -- to enable the delivery of informed, patient-centered care. It also supports the identification, discovery and development of creating therapeutics to manage and treat rare genetic diseases. “While today is officially recognized as Rare Disease Day, every day is rare disease day for us as we work tirelessly to shorten and ultimately end the diagnostic odyssey,” said Katherine Stueland, GeneDx President and CEO. “With the increasing focus on patients with rare disease, we’re proud to bolster the medical community’s ability to diagnose disease more accurately and rapidly. Our research contributions are evidence of our investment into unlocking and advancing the power of genomic information to become the standard of care in diagnosing and treating rare disease.” The research and collaborations being shown at ACMG are just the latest demonstration of the company’s continued success in leveraging genetic data and technology to generate clinical insights that lead to improved and faster diagnoses, new and better patient treatments and improved outcomes.
