GeneDx (Nasdaq: WGS) has launched GeneDx Discover, a data visualization tool providing biopharmaceutical companies access to deidentified genetic data to improve drug development. The tool leverages GeneDx's database of over 700,000 clinical exomes and genomes to help understand disease characteristics and patient populations. This initiative aims to address current drug development challenges, where the average new therapy costs $2.6B, takes 12 years, and has a 90% failure rate. The self-service platform combines disease prevalence data, phenotypic information, and variant-level details to help define patient cohorts and understand market opportunities for genetically-defined diseases.

GeneDx (Nasdaq: WGS) has appointed Heidi Chen as Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, effective November 25, 2024. Chen, who will report to CEO Katherine Stueland, brings over 30 years of experience and will lead legal, compliance, and policy functions.

GeneDx announced the publication of peer-reviewed research from the GUARDIAN study in JAMA, examining the use of whole genome sequencing (WGS) for newborn screening. The study, aiming to enroll 100,000 newborns, found that 3.7% of 4,000 enrolled newborns had positive screenings, with 92% of true positive findings being conditions not included in traditional newborn screening. The study screened for 255 early-onset genetic conditions, including 156 with established treatments. Notable findings included conditions like Long QT syndrome, severe combined immunodeficiencies, and Wilson disease. The study showed high acceptance rates, with 72% of families consenting to participate and 90.6% opting for additional neurodevelopmental disorder screening.

GeneDx (Nasdaq: WGS), a leader in genomic insights, has conducted genomic newborn screenings (gNBS) for over 14,000 infants through research studies like GUARDIAN and Early Check. This positions GeneDx as a laboratory leader in revolutionizing newborn screening. The company's analysis shows that 21% of patients could have received diagnoses an average of 8 years earlier if gNBS had been available at birth.

Dr. Paul Kruszka, Chief Medical Officer at GeneDx, will present 'Lessons Learned: 14,000+ Infants Screened with Newborn Sequencing' at the International Conference on Newborn Sequencing (ICoNS). GeneDx's work in gNBS supports its vision of quick genetic disorder diagnosis to prevent disease progression and ensure healthier lives.
