For you if:
There’s a family history of cancer or heart disease
You’re seeking clarity about inherited health risks
You're proactive about your long-term health
Proactive genetic testing for long-term health
Take charge of your health with clear genetic insights. Test genes that could cause an increased risk of developing certain cancers, heart disease & other health risks.
Know your risks before they become your reality
1 in 20 people carry an inherited health risk.
Many find out after its too late for prevention. Finding an inherited risk isn’t a diagnosis. It’s early information that gives you time to act, adjust screening, and reduce your long-term risk.
Silent risks can
-
Be inherited, even without
a known family history
-
Remain invisible in standard
blood tests and MRIs
-
Appear without warning or symptoms

How is proactive genetic testing different from blood tests?
Blood tests show what’s happening in your body right now, like cholesterol or inflammation. They reflect your current health.
Proactive genetic testing looks at your inherited risk. It helps identify conditions you may be more likely to develop over time, even if you feel healthy today.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the preventative genetic test screen for?
What does the preventative genetic test screen for?
It screens for inherited risks linked to cancer, heart conditions, cholesterol and metabolic issues, and other medically actionable health conditions. This includes conditions like hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome, inherited cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias, familial hypercholesterolaemia and other risks that can be managed early with the right care.
Who is this test right for?
Who is this test right for?
Anyone who wants to be proactive about their long-term health. It’s especially relevant for people with a family history of cancer, heart conditions, early or unexplained cardiac events, high cholesterol that doesn’t match lifestyle, or anyone who wants a preventative health baseline.
Do I need this test if I feel healthy?
Do I need this test if I feel healthy?
Yes. Most inherited risks have no symptoms. Preventative genomics helps you identify risks early, before any signs of disease appear, so you can take the right steps at the right time.
How is this different from lifestyle DNA tests?
How is this different from lifestyle DNA tests?
This is a clinical-grade medical test. We only screen genes with strong clinical evidence, only report medically actionable findings, and every result is reviewed by specialists. There are no ancestry traits, personality traits, or recreational DNA insights — only information that can meaningfully guide your health care.
How accurate is this test?
How accurate is this test?
Your sample is processed in accredited medical laboratories using clinical sequencing, and all findings are reviewed by experts in cancer and cardiac genetics. Only proven, clinically validated genes are included.
Will this replace regular blood tests or check-ups?
Will this replace regular blood tests or check-ups?
No. Proactive genetic testing doesn’t replace regular blood tests or routine check-ups. Blood tests and check-ups show what’s happening in your body right now. Genetic testing looks at your inherited risk and helps identify what you may be more likely to develop over time.Used together, they give a more complete picture of your health and help you and your clinician make more informed decisions.
What happens after my results come back?
What happens after my results come back?
You’re not left to interpret the results on your own.Your results are reviewed with a qualified genetic counsellor, who helps explain what they mean and what action, if any, is recommended. Depending on the outcome, this may include reassurance, lifestyle guidance, or referrals for follow-up care or monitoring. The goal is clarity and support, not just information.
