Frequently asked questions

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.
