Notes:
XomeDx, or exome sequencing (ES), can be used to identify the
underlying molecular basis of a genetic disorder in an affected
individual and is best suited for patients who have a genetic
condition that routine genetic testing has not been able to
identify. The XomeDx test targets exons, which are the
protein-coding regions of the human genome. Exons are captured and
sequenced using massively parallel sequencing.
XomeDx and XomeDxPlus test reports will include analysis
of ACMG secondary findings in the proband unless the proband is
opted-out. The presence of any secondary finding(s) reported for
the proband will be provided for all relatives tested by XomeDx or
XomeDxPlus. GeneDx does not conduct an independent
evaluation of secondary findings in relatives as part of the
proband’s XomeDx test.
**Due to extremely high demand for GeneDx’s exome and genome testing, current TAT may extend up to a few weeks longer for some cases. This does not affect TAT for XomeDxXpress, Priority or Prenatal. Please reach out to your local GeneDx Testing Specialist if you need further assistance. **
