- Invitae Corporation (NVTAQ), a medical genetics company, provides genetic testing services utilizing next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics to deliver actionable insights for hereditary conditions, including comprehensive panels and exome sequencing for oncology, such as breast, ovarian, colon and prostate cancers; cardiology, covering hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and long QT syndrome; neurology, including epilepsy and movement disorders; pediatrics; rare and undiagnosed diseases like metabolic disorders; carrier screening; and other hereditary conditions such as preimplantation and pathology diagnostics. The company offers these services to patients, healthcare providers, biopharma companies and pharmaceutical partners, with operations primarily in the United States and support extended to Canada through genetic counseling included at no additional cost for eligible tests. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Invitae serves diverse customer types across these therapeutic segments via flexible billing options and integration with clinical practices.
In August 2024, Labcorp finalized its acquisition of select Invitae assets, integrating the company's genetic testing technology focused on oncology and select rare diseases into Labcorp's specialty testing capabilities to enhance offerings from therapy development through diagnosis and personalized treatment. This transaction followed Invitae's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in February 2024, which transitioned to a liquidation plan approved in August 2024, enabling continuity for customers amid prior divestitures of assets like Ciitizen to address accumulated debt from 13 acquisitions between 2019 and 2021. Through this Labcorp partnership, Invitae advances genetic data utilization for clinical trials, patient care and health outcomes, leveraging nationwide patient service centers and coverage by most health plans.
