Patient advocacy

Parents with their baby

Power to the patient

By teaming up with patient advocacy groups we strive to support patients and their families in two ways: connecting them to resources and increasing awareness of genetic testing in diagnosing rare disease.

Working toward a better world

GeneDx has collaborated with advocacy organizations in various capacities to support their missions – whether by providing testing and research collaborations or by drawing greater awareness to the organization.
 

Here are a few examples of our successes in the past few years:

Through the Odyssey and iHope philanthropic programs, GeneDx has provided no-charge exome sequencing and whole genome sequencing to patients who meet clinical criteria and who don’t otherwise have access to this testing. Since 2017, we have helped nearly 300 patients by providing them access to testing; potentially ending their diagnostic journey so time can be spent on their care.

In 2021, GeneDx began our collaboration with CureDuchenne, a leading Duchenne muscular dystrophy advocacy and venture philanthropy organization. Through this alliance, CureDuchenne and GeneDx are providing genomic sequencing test results, for consented patients, to the DMD research community.

We would love to design a collaboration with your organization that makes a positive and lasting impact for patients and their families.
