GeneDx provides exome and whole genome sequencing primarily for pediatric rare disease diagnosis, backed by one of the world's largest rare disease datasets (GeneDx Infinity™, 2.5M+ tests). Nearly all 2025 revenue was from diagnostic test reports reimbursed by third-party payors; ~1.5% of revenues are from outside the U.S. The proprietary dataset creates a diagnostic flywheel—each new test improves interpretation accuracy.
