What genes are screened?
This bundle includes everything in our Proactive Cancer Risk test and Heart Health Test, plus extra health risk genes:
- 65 genes associated with increased cancer risk, including breast, bowel, skin & prostate, could also impact your child’s health.
- 83 genes that increase your risk of some of the most common types of heart disease including high cholesterol, high blood pressure & conditions that could lead to heart attack & stroke.
- 19 additional health risk genes including dystonia and hemochromatosis
What can I do with my preventative health test results?
Information about your genetic risk is simply the first step to action. We create a tailored action plan for you to prevent or reduce your risk of developing cancer & heart disease:
- Understand what lifestyle changes can help prevent cancer and heart disease
- Get access to risk-reducing medications
- In some cases, consider preventive surgery.
- Be prepared for future surgeries or c-sections by understanding any risks of clotting disorders or adverse responses to anaesthesia
- Identify more common heath risks like markers that predict an increased chance of clotting disorders or adverse responses to anaesthesia

Your saliva sample is destroyed after 30 days. In unusual cases when testing takes longer than 30 days, the specimen will be retained until the report is delivered.
-
From the moment we receive your saliva sample, the turnaround time to get your results are 3 to 6 weeks.

Yes. Even if you don’t have a family history you could still have a genetic risk that increases your own risk. Not everyone who carries an increased risk gene variant will develop cancer or heart disease, so not every family will have the family history. 1 in 7 people have a gene variation that increase their risk of developing cancer or heart disease. Knowing whether or not you have a gene variation could be lifesaving for you and your family.

Each test comes with a 30 minute consult with a Eugene genetic counsellor to discuss your results with you and customise a prevention and screening plan. If needed, we’ll also provide specialist referrals to support your ongoing care.
You can access our free education tools, sign up for ongoing EugeneCare+ support, or take your results to your GP or specialist for follow ups.
-
Your prevention and screening plan depends on the gene variations found. Each variation affects your risk differently and so the best approach to prevention and screening can be different.
Our genetic counsellor and physician team reviews your test results and your personal & family history to create tailored screening and prevention measures that you and your doctor can act on.
If needed, we’ll also provide specialist referrals to support your ongoing care.

This test focuses on genetic variants that are known to significantly increase the risk of developing a disease, ensuring you get clear and actionable insights. We may also share information on genetic variants that moderately affect your risk.
We don’t report on genetic variants with uncertain clinical impact, known as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), because they can’t be acted upon within a medical setting. Our goal is to provide you with information that empowers you to make informed decisions about your health.
