Wells Fargo 21st Annual Healthcare Conference summary
8 Sep, 2026Company overview and market focus
Specializes in rare disease diagnosis using whole exome and genome sequencing, aiming to end the diagnostic odyssey for families.
Has reduced average age of diagnosis from 15 years to nearly half that, with potential for near-birth diagnosis.
One in ten Americans has an undiagnosed rare disease, representing a large unmet need.
Recent performance and growth drivers
Achieved 32% volume growth in Q2, driven by strong demand in geneticists, pediatric neurology, and NICU channels.
Returned to profitability a quarter earlier than expected.
Plans to expand into primary care and general pediatrics later this year, leveraging new AAP guidelines.
Market penetration and expansion opportunities
Serving 80% of expert geneticists in the U.S., but only 30% patient penetration in that channel.
Pediatric neurology and NICU channels remain underpenetrated, with significant headroom for growth.
New markets include general pediatricians (600,000 children annually) and prenatal genome testing for maternal-fetal medicine.
