About Us

The NxGen MDX office and laboratory is located within Grand Rapids’ prestigious medical corridor and offers patients the very best and brightest minds in the genetics field. Known for drawing researchers, scientists, and patients from all over the world, this hub of medical knowledge ensures our reliable, advanced methodologies stay ahead of the curve. As a proud, Michigan-based company, we source our equipment and supplies from the United States whenever we can.

Best-In-Class Science for Unmatched Accuracy

Since our founding in 2012, we have continually updated our technologies to keep pace with advances in genetic research and screening techniques. Our screens rely on next-generation sequencing that delivers over 99% accuracy clinical detection rates for most conditions. This powerful technique looks at entire coding regions of genes rather than the abbreviated sequencing or genotyping techniques used by other genetic screening companies. And because we detect genetic pathogenic variants that can be missed by abbreviated screening technologies, you can count on your NxGen MDx screening results to give you a highly accurate, comprehensive assessment of your true risk and ultimately, better outcomes for you and your family.
