Academic research Fuel future answers Research drives our understanding of genetic disorders. Transparent, responsible research collaborations enable the identification of new diseases and the development of novel treatments. Whether you are a researcher looking to identify a clinical cohort, a healthcare provider wanting to speak with others in your field about medical management, or a patient looking to connect with those who have same genetic diagnosis, the GeneDx research group can facilitate these connections. Our dedicated team responds to requests to make connections that may lead to future answers for people impacted by rare genetic disorders. WHAT WE DO ALWAYS protect patient privacy ALWAYS ensure that any necessary consents are obtained ALWAYS respect our healthcare providers’ choice to participate Share our knowledge about newly discovered genes and general phenotype information. HOW WE CAN HELP Identify prospective cases, while maintaining complete patient and client privacy Facilitate connections between healthcare providers and researchers Contact healthcare providers about reanalysis for previous cases Connect patients with support groups or patient registries Making a difference Our employees are passionate about advancing the field of genomics both at work and beyond. Several of our experts are part of ClinGen working groups and expert panels. READ THE GENEDX CLINGEN PROFILE A number of GeneDx team members also participate in American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) committees including: Economics of Genetic Services Committee Social, Ethical and Legal Issues Committee Public Health Genetics From discovery, sharing, and collaboration to publication, diagnosis, and beyond, the GeneDx Research Team is here to help you reach your goals with the data you need.
