GeneDx specializes in genetic testing to identify changes or mutations in a patient's DNA that may be linked to health conditions, particularly rare diseases. The company analyzes DNA samples collected from cheek swabs, blood, or other specimens, and sequences the exomes, which are the parts of the genome that contain genes. This process allows for the detection of genetic variations that can inform diagnosis and treatment. GeneDx differentiates itself from competitors by offering rapid testing services, with products like GenomeXpress and XomeDx Xpress that provide results in as little as seven days, which is crucial for timely medical decisions. The company's goal is to enhance the understanding of genetic disorders for patients, families, and healthcare providers, ultimately improving treatment outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.

GeneDx (Nasdaq: WGS) today announced the successful completion of its acquisition of Fabric Genomics, a pioneer in AI-powered genomic interpretation.
NEW YORK - GeneDx said Wednesday that it plans to acquire Fabric Genomics for $33 million in cash with the potential consideration rising to $51 million if certain milestones are met.
What You Should Know:– GeneDx, a company focused on improving health outcomes through genomic insights, has announced its plans to acquire Fabric Genomics, a pioneer in AI-powered genomic interpretation.– The acquisition aims to position GeneDx at the forefront of the next phase of genomic medicine, characterized by decentralized testing with centralized intelligence. Following the closing of the acquisition, Fabric Genomics will initially operate independently while benefiting from GeneDx’s commercial support to accelerate its expansion.AI-Powered Genomic InterpretationThe acquisition is motivated by the increasing accessibility of DNA sequencing, which allows for the decoupling of interpretation services from physical laboratories. This decoupling is expected to provide greater flexibility in integrating genomic information into the workflows of healthcare providers and health systems, both in the U.S. and globally. Fabric Genomics’ platform is known for its ability to scale complex interpretation services and has been used to interpret challenging genetic disease cases for various large health systems, academic centers, and research partners.Through this acquisition, health systems will gain the option to use GeneDx’s centralized lab or conduct sequencing at their own facilities while leveraging GeneDx’s data and Fabric Genomics’ AI-powered interpretation platform. The companies believe that this model will lead to faster and earlier diagnoses of genetic diseases, improved patient outcomes, and reduced costs for healthcare systems.Expanding Market ReachThe acquisition will also enable GeneDx to expand its market reach into several key areas:NICU Genomic Testing: The companies aim to increase the use of rapid whole genome sequencing in NICUs, where it has the potential to reduce diagnostic time and costs and improve outcomes for infants.The companies aim to increase the use of rapid whole genome sequencing in NICUs, where it has the potential to reduce diagnostic time and costs and improve outcomes for infants
GAITHERSBURG, Md.-(BUSINESS WIRE)- GeneDx (Nasdaq: WGS), a leader in delivering improved health outcomes through genomic insights, announced today they have been named to Fast Company's prestigious list of the World's Most Innovative Companies of 2025, and recognized as the No. 2 in the Biotech category.
