Kyle Retterer (KR): GeneDx was founded in 2000 by Sherri Bale and John Compton. They were NIH researchers who had developed genetic assays for ultra-rare disorders and wanted to offer them as a service. They gradually expanded from that, adding to the menu of rare disorders and broadening the focus over time as new technologies, such as chromosome microarray and next-generation sequencing (NGS), emerged. While relatively common disease areas, such as inherited cancer and cardiomyopathy, are now major areas of business, the largest growth in the last few years has been in our clinical genomics program focused on exome and genome sequencing.
