Providing answers, faster
GeneDx’s Xpress testing provides accelerated test results for patients in critical condition who are presenting overlapping symptoms or phenotypes. With a 7-day verbal test result and a 14-day written report*, we’re helping deliver answers faster.
Faster test results for informing decisions
When a patient presents with a rapidly deteriorating clinical status, a fast diagnosis has the power to change the direction of medical management, shorten the length of a hospital stay, reduce healthcare costs, and save lives.[1-5]
Our dedicated Xpress clinical team of genetic experts is here to discuss your patient’s case before and after you send in specimens. Email our team at xpress@genedx.com for personalized support.
GeneDx Xpress tests include:
- A dedicated clinical team for provider support
- Assistance with the consenting process
- Shipping of specimen collection kits to the provider/hospital and directly to parents
- A trio-based testing approach to increase diagnostic yields and provide inheritance-based reporting
- Real-time analysis and reporting
- Verbal report within 7 days*
- Written test report within 14 days*
- Phenotype- and inheritance-driven reporting
- Industry-leading experience supported by a clinical team of genetic experts
* The 7 day timeframe begins after both the patient’s and relative specimens, as appropriate, are received at our laboratory.
