The role contributes to the curation of internal variant databases, collaborates with clinical and laboratory teams, and may serve as a subject matter expert for specific genes, disorders, or workflows. With a focus on accuracy, scientific rigor, and cross-functional communication, the Associate Report Writer supports team objectives, maintains current knowledge of best practices, and helps facilitate timely and reliable reporting. 

Job Responsibilities 

• Reviews and classifies genetic variants using established guidelines (e.g., ACMG/AMP). 
• Performs literature reviews and database searches to gather evidence for variant interpretation. 
• Proficient in report writing and related systems. 
• Apply appropriate clinical ACMG criteria and corresponding approved bullet point language. 
• Draft test report using approved language and assemble report content. 
• Selects appropriate interpretation language for clinical reports. 
• Collaborates with clinical geneticists, bioinformaticians, and laboratory personnel to ensure timely and accurate reporting.

• Meets or exceeds productivity and error standards as assigned by team lead. 
• Supports team efforts to meet corporate and departmental Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). 
• May abstract clinical information from patient records, assess pathogenicity of sequence and/or copy number variants, perform data analysis and case management, and interpret clinical features of genetic disorders. 
• Performs other duties as assigned in support of the team or department. 

Education, Experience, and Skills 

• Masters degree from an accredited genetic counseling program.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively, with strong verbal and written communication skills and high proficiency in Microsoft Office 365 applications

Science - Minded, Patient - Focused. 

At GeneDx, we create, follow, and are informed by cutting-edge science. With over 20 years of expertise in diagnosing rare disorders and diseases, and pioneering work in the identification of new disease-causing genes, our commitment to genetic disease detection, discovery, and diagnosis is based on sound science and is focused on enhancing patient care.

Experts in what matters most. 

With hundreds of genetic counselors, MD/PhD scientists, and clinical and molecular genomics specialists on staff, we are the industrys genetic testing experts and proud of it. We share the same goal as healthcare providers, patients, and families: to provide clear, accurate, and meaningful answers we all can trust.

SEQUENCING HAS THE POWER TO SOLVE DIAGNOSTIC CHALLENGES.

From sequencing to reporting and beyond, our technical and clinical experts are providing guidance every step of the way:

TECHNICAL EXPERTISE

• High-quality testing: Our laboratory is CLIA certified and CAP accredited and most of our tests are also New York State approved.
• Advanced detection: By interrogating genes for complex variants, we can identify the underlying causes of conditions that may otherwise be missed.

CLINICAL EXPERTISE

• Thorough analysis: We classify variants according to our custom adaptation of the most recent guidelines. We then leverage our rich internal database for additional interpretation evidence.
• Customized care: Our experts review all test results and write reports in a clear, concise, and personalized way. We also include information for research studies in specific clinical situations.
• Impactful discovery: Our researchers continue working to find answers even after testing is complete. Through both internal research efforts and global collaborations, we have identified and published hundreds of new disease-gene relationships and developed novel tools for genomic data analysis. These efforts ultimately deliver more diagnostic findings to individuals.
