Genetic Testing for You & Your Family

At-Home Genetic Testing for Hereditary Diseases and Cancer Risk

Our At-Home Genetic Tests

Whether you're planning a family, wondering about your inherited cancer risk, or both, our at-home genetic tests give you clear answers about your genetic health. Every test uses a simple saliva sample and includes access to genetic counseling, so you'll have expert support every step of the way.

Reproductive Carrier Screening

Know your chances of passing on an inherited condition before or during pregnancy. The reproductive carrier screen is an at-home expanded carrier screening panel that helps individuals and couples understand their risk for having a child with a genetic disease. The carrier panel includes more than 260 diseases, such as Tay-Sachs disease, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anemia.

Hereditary Cancer Testing

Know your inherited cancer risk before symptoms appear. The hereditary cancer test is an at-home genetic test that checks 63 genes (including BRCA1 and BRCA2) for changes that increase the risk of cancer, including breast, ovarian, colon, and pancreatic cancer. The test is especially valuable if you have a personal or family history of cancer or Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, and your results can help you and your doctor build a personalized care plan.

Reproductive Carrier Screen and Hereditary Cancer Test

Hereditary cancer testing isn't just about your own risk — for some genes, it's about your future child's, too. Ordering the carrier screen and hereditary cancer test together gives you a more comprehensive picture of your genetic health before you start or grow your family, so you can make informed reproductive choices. Save $29 when you order both.
