    GeneDx announces data demonstrating that whole exome and genome sequencing report fewer variants of uncertain significance (VUS) than multi-gene panel testing published in Genetics in Medicine (BioSpace)
    "GeneDx...announced that Genetics in Medicine, the official journal of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) has published a peer-reviewed research analysis resulting from a multi-lab collaboration involving GeneDx. The study, 'The landscape of reported VUS in multi-gene panel and genomic testing: Time for a change,' evaluated the rate of inconclusive genetic variants, or variants of uncertain significance (VUS), reported with multi-gene panels versus exome and genome sequencing."

    Sema4|GeneDx collaborates on new research demonstrating genome and exome sequencing deliver more diagnostic certainty than multi-gene panels (Sema4 Press Release)
    "Sema4...has collaborated on research debunking a commonly held belief that exome and genome sequencing deliver more inconclusive results than multi-gene panels. The study demonstrates that using exome or genome sequencing results in a significantly lower rate of variants of uncertain significance (VUS) compared to panel-based testing, underscoring the importance of genomic sequencing for improving diagnoses and health outcomes. It is one of more than a dozen studies Sema4|GeneDX is either presenting, or has participated in, being showcased at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) Annual Meeting."
