1 in 2 people in the UK will develop cancer within their lifetime.
It usually occurs when the genes in your cells mutate due to lifestyle, diet, age or exposure to chemicals or harmful UV rays.
However, sometimes these genetic mutations can be inherited from our parents. These are call inherited or hereditary cancer genes.
If your parent has a gene mutation, you have a 50% chance of inheriting it. That doesn’t mean you will definitely develop cancer, but you do have a higher risk and are more likely to develop cancer at a younger age too.
We have tests to check your risk for specific cancers, and more comprehensive tests to check for multiple cancers, including checks for the BRCA 1 & 2 genes.
Our popular Cancer & Cardiac Disease DNA test checks your risk of 8 types of cancer plus 4 types of common heart diseases which can cause sudden cardiac arrest, stroke and heart attack at all ages.

A cancer genetics test is a DNA test which will determine whether you have a genetic mutation which makes you more prone to developing cancer.
Looking at a wide range of genes, our test can tell whether you have a genetic predisposition, and to which cancers specifically.
It’s really easy and completely painless too. Our test simply requires a small saliva sample, which you send to our laboratory for analysis.
If your family has experienced any of these circumstances, you may wish to check your cancer risk:
Knowing whether you have a genetic mutation enables you to make sure you have regular check-ups and screenings, and make immediate changes to your lifestyle that can mitigate your risk.
Remember, if you have a mutation, there is a 50% chance that your siblings, and your children, will have it too.
