Invitae had a foundational year in 2017 that demonstrated its ability to scale operations and grow rapidly. The company processed over 350,000 genetic tests, a major increase from the previous year. Invitae aims to bring affordable, high-quality genetic testing to billions of people by leveraging improvements in technology that reduce costs through economies of scale. Currently, genetic testing is a multi-billion dollar industry, but most tests are not accessible due to high prices. Invitae hopes to dramatically increase access through its affordable pricing model.

Gene panels for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer risk assessment are gaining acceptance, even
though the clinical utility of these panels is not yet fully defined. Technical questions remain,
however, about the performance and clinical interpretation of gene panels in comparison with
traditional tests. We tested 1105 individuals using a 29-gene next-generation sequencing panel and
observed 100% analytical concordance with traditional and reference data on >750 comparable
variants. These 750 variants included technically challenging classes of sequence and copy number
variation that together represent a significant fraction (13.4%) of the pathogenic variants
observed. For BRCA1 and BRCA2, we also compared variant interpretations in traditional reports to
those produced using only non-proprietary resources and following criteria based on recent (2015)
guidelines. We observed 99.8% net report concordance, albeit with a slightly higher variant of
uncertain significance rate. In 4.5% of BRCA-negative cases, we uncovered pathogenic variants in
other genes, which appear clinically relevant. Previously unseen variants requiring interpretation
accumulated rapidly, even after 1000 individuals had been tested. We conclude that next-
generation sequencing panel testing can provide results highly comparable to traditional testing
and can uncover potentially actionable findings that may be otherwise missed. Challenges remain
for the broad adoption of panel tests, some of which will be addressed by the accumulation of large
public databases of annotated clinical variants. (J Mol Diagn 2015, -: 1e12; http://dx.doi.org/

MultigeneQ6 panel testing has proved useful as a diagnostic tool
for disorders where similar phenotypes can be influenced by
multiple genes.1
Recent advances in next-generation DNA
sequencing technology (NGS) have enabled these clinical tests
and made them increasingly inexpensive to perform.2,3
For
hereditary cancer syndromes, studies have shown that NGS-
based panel tests can uncover potentially actionable findings
that may be missed by traditional testing paradigms.4e12
Vali-
dation studies of clinical NGS assays for hereditary cancer
genes have correspondingly been published,4,7,11,13,14
and
certain guidelines exist for their clinical implementation.15e18
Patient management experience using these hereditary cancer
panels is growing,4,19,20
