5 Rare diseases impact 1 in 10 people, and over half of them are children.3 The estimated economic burden of rare diseases on the US healthcare system is nearly $1 trillion annually.4 On their journey to a diagnosis, rare disease patients will be misdiagnosed an average of three times.2 3x The journey to an accurate diagnosis can take over six years.1 6 years The diagnostic odyssey: common, critical, and costly Millions of Americans with a rare disease are urgently searching for answers. Most are children. Every day without a diagnosis is a missed opportunity for patients—and burden the healthcare system as a whole. References: 1. Global Genes. RARE Disease Facts.

9 GeneDx has spent over a decade solving for the limitations of the past and we're working to change the perception of exome and genome sequencing Then Now Results take months Tests are prohibitively expensive GeneDx’s tests are accessible and widely covered by insurance Results are confusing, filled with useless information Patients receive fewer variants of uncertain significance and more definitive answers Turnaround time Cost Interpretation Nothing to do or change based on the results Results unlock a growing number of approved therapies, clinical trials, dietary and behavioral health therapies GeneDx delivers results in days or weeks Other testing (CT scan, MRI, gene panels) offers the same information Exome and genome uncover what other tests don’t, which saves time & money Actionability Value


 
10 Accelerating and deepening our competitive advantage with every patient Pay it forward data strategy: the snowballing effect of data accumulated with ever patient we test drives our underlying interpretation platform to get smarter, faster, and more scalable That’s enable us to identify more than 400 new disease-gene relationships—and counting. >750K exomes & genomes Patent applications have been filed to develop an IP portfolio directed to our innovative platform of genetic variant identification, clinical interpretation and innovative diagnostic tools developed using artificial intelligence.


 
11 Our data is unmatched in size, breadth, and depth— making it highly infeasible for competitors to recreate • Enriched for rare disease Diagnosing even the rarest conditions for 25 years • 60% of our exomes/genomes are parent/child trios Enabling de novo findings, sequencing asymptomatic parents • 6 million phenotypic datapoints Bridging clinical information and genomic insights • 10+ years of Medicaid patients tested Representing the full US population diversity • All underpinned by expert annotation and curation Bringing answers to more patients today—without future reanalysis


 
12 Historical base Near term Mid term Long term Expert geneticists Pediatric specialties (e.g., autism, epilepsy, DD/ID) NICU Pediatric specialties (e.g., hearing loss, cerebral palsy, immune disorders) Pediatricians Newborn screening Adult specialties (e.g., Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, Huntington's, MS) Adult specialties (Cardiology) Pediatrics & Rare Adult Supplemented by a developing biopharma business Our market opportunity is massive and poised to expand over time Taking a disciplined approach entering markets as reimbursement pathways open Rolling expansion of exome/genome use cases fuels a: $45 billion market opportunity (total) $20 billion (adult) Five-year outlook $25 billion (pediatrics & rare)


 
13 Outpatient market expansion: Fueling growth with new indications, coverage and guidelines Today, GeneDx primarily targets epilepsy, autism and intellectual disability/developmental delay, congenital anomalies, and rare disease • We have 80% market share among genetics experts, 12% among pediatric neurologists, and the rest is untapped A disciplined approach to expand into additional indications starting with hearing loss, cerebral palsy and eventually adult disorders including various neurological, cardiology and other domains Expect expanded clinical guidelines and reimbursement coverage over time • American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) last updated their genetic testing guidelines in 2014 • Contracted with ~80% of commercially-insured lives • Medicaid coverage continues to expand


 
14 Inpatient (NICU) market expansion: A clear unmet need, underscored by decades of earned trust and improved workflows References: 1. Kingsmore SF, Cakici JA, Clark MM, et al. Am J Hum Genet. 2019 Oct 3;105(4):719-733. doi:10.1016/j.ajhg.2019.08.009. 2. Kingsmore SF, Nofsinger R. & Ellsworth K. NPJ Genom. Med. 2024;9(17). do i:10.1038/s41525-024-00404-0. 1 in 4 infants in U.S. NICUs likely have a genetic disorder1 • Genome testing is severely underutilized, currently ordered for <5% of children who could benefit2 • NICU orders represent only single digits of our current volume GeneDx has decades of earned trust amongst children’s hospitals and geneticists with 10+ years of exome/genome experience We are expanding our enterprise sales team and implementing EPIC Aura in 2025 to begin penetrating with a more seamless experience to drive utilization


 
15 Genetic evidence is one of the most powerful tools to improve the therapeutic development process Today Tomorrow The average therapeutic development cycle: Including genetic evidence can dramatically reduce cost, shorten timelines, and improve success rates: o Up to 60% of this cost is spent in the clinical phase. Costs $2.6B o Inefficient trials—driven by patient identification and recruitment challenges—extend timelines. Takes 12 years o Most trials fail due to safety and efficacy concerns. Fails 90% of the time Genetic evidence can reduce development costs by up to 25%. Leveraging genetic data can cut development timelines by up to 5 years. Drugs with supporting genetic evidence are 2.6 times more likely to succeed. 15


 
16 Our partnerships with biopharma companies help accelerate treatments— from early discovery through commercialization Our collaborations are impacting the lives of patients today: Akouos (Eli Lilly) Regeneron GeneDx partnered with Akouos to match patients with the clinical trial that enabled Aissam Dam to hear for the first time. Through a data partnership with GeneDx, Regeneron received valuable insights into the landscape of hearing loss patients and their associated variants. After receiving treatment, Aissam said: “There’s no sound I don’t like. They're all good.” Opal heard her mother's voice for the first time after participating in Regeneron's clinical trial.


 
17 Every year, thousands of newborns with actionable conditions are missed by traditional newborn screening (NBS). Federal NBS guidelines recommend testing for 37 conditions with biomarkers—measurable changes in the baby’s blood that indicate the baby may have a disorder. However, there are hundreds of actionable conditions that lack biomarkers. We believe in a future where every newborn’s genome is sequenced at birth Genomic sequencing can detect conditions without biomarkers, expanding the number of conditions screened to ~450. By supplementing traditional NBS with genomic sequencing, we can offer crucial information to improve health outcomes.


 
18 GeneDx is the leader set to revolutionize the standard approach to today's newborn screening, enabling diagnoses before symptoms even start Screened 17,000 healthy infants with genome sequencing, toward goal of >100,000 3.2% true positive rate, and 92% of true positives would not have been detected with today's standard newborn screening Early diagnosis for conditions like long QT syndrome and Wilson disease not included in standard newborn screening, resulted in life-saving treatments Without this screening, the average age of diagnosis for these conditions is 7-11 years old​ Results from the GUARDIAN study, published in Journal of the American Medical Association, set the foundation for clinically-actionable, ethical and responsible gNBS More than 70% of parents consented to gNBS, with 90% of those opting for inclusion of optional neurodevelopmental disorders GeneDx has screened more newborns than any other commercial laboratory. This experience gives GeneDx a deep understanding of how to offer this testing at scale. References: 1. Ziegler A, Koval-Bur t C, Kay DM, et al.
