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.

Up to 58% diagnostic yield for
critically ill neonates [3,6]

>65% genetic diagnoses impact
medical management [7]

Up to 90% of results not found
with panel testing [7,8]
