What genes are screened?
We call it the everything test. It includes everything in our Comprehensive Carrier Screening, Proactive Cancer Risk test and Heart Health Test.
- 500+ carrier conditions, including cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular Atrophy, Tay-Sachs Disease & fragile X syndrome.
- 60+ genes associated with increased cancer risk, including breast, bowel, skin & prostate, could also impact your child’s health.
- 75+ 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.
What can I do with the carrier test results?
If you are both carriers of the same condition, then you have a higher chance of having a child with that condition. In this case, you may consider:
- Prenatal testing to find out if your pregnancy is affected
- Use IVF technologies to prevent passing on the condition
What can I do with my proactive health results?
Your test results identify any gene variations found and provide a tailored action plan to prevent or reduce your risk of cancer & heart disease:
- Medicare-funded screening programs to detect cancer early, when it's treatable
- Lifestyle changes to help prevent cancer and heart disease
- Access to risk-reducing medications
- In some cases, preventive surgery.
Is this test right for me?
Our most comprehensive test is perfect for couples who want to make informed decisions about their future family & their personal health.
It looks for gene variants that could cause serious genetic disease in your child as well as your risk of developing certain cancers & heart disease.
This test does not diagnose a person with heart disease or cancer.

-
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.
-
Understanding your carrier risk is most relevant before or early in pregnancy. Many people consider their carrier status as important health information just before trying to get pregnant or in the first trimester of pregnancy to make informed reproductive choices for their family. RACGP and RANZCOG also recommend carrier screening before or early in pregnancy.
The proactive health genes are relevant at all stages of life.
-
80% of babies born with an inherited genetic condition had no family history of it. That’s why Eugene’s carrier screening is relevant when you are planning a pregnancy, regardless of your family background or history.
-
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.
-
As a healthcare company, we comply with the most stringent local and international privacy and security regulations. We take incredible care to use technical, process and physical safeguards to secure your personal information and protect it against misuse, loss or alteration.
Finally, Eugene doesn’t share any of your data with anyone but you, the lab, and (with your express permission) your doctor.
-
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.
