Preventative Screening

Around half your patients will get a different screening plan once you know their genetics.

Eugene's Preventative tests identify inherited risk for cancer, heart disease, and chronic conditions in asymptomatic patients, and return a personalised screening plan for every patient, whether or not a variant is found. Medicare-funded screening unlocks for those at increased risk.

In the consult room

When to recommend Eugene.

Three patient signals worth raising Eugene during a consult.

Family history of cancer or heart disease

Especially before age 60, especially in first-degree relatives, especially the same condition in more than one relative.

Patient 30 to 60, with a proactive mindset

In a longevity program, asking about preventative options, or expressing long-term health goals.

Other clinical signals worth raising Eugene

Ashkenazi Jewish heritage (elevated risk for BRCA1/2), elevated cholesterol or other biomarkers warranting genetic context, or patients simply asking how they can be more proactive.

The three tests

Choose the right test for the patient.

All Eugene Preventative tests include kit, prepaid shipping, lab analysis, clinical summary, and a one-on-one genetic counselling consult.

Preventative Health Test Most comprehensive

Preventative Health Test

  • 184+ genes screened
  • 65+ cancer, 85+ cardiac genes
  • 25+ other genes, including diabetes, kidney & anaesthesia-reaction risk
  • Best for a broad preventative screen across cancer, cardiac & metabolic risk
Proactive Cancer Risk Test

Proactive Cancer Risk Test

  • 69+ genes screened
  • Breast, ovarian, colorectal, prostate, pancreatic, melanoma
  • Best for personal or family cancer history, even without a clear-cut pattern
Proactive Heart Health Test

Proactive Heart Health Test

  • 88+ genes screened
  • Cardiomyopathy, aortopathy, arrhythmia, familial hypercholesterolemia
  • Best for cardiac family history or elevated cholesterol
What you get back

Every patient comes back with a screening plan.

Eugene returns a personalised screening plan for every patient, integrating personal history, family history, and genetic results, whether a variant is found or not.

100%

Every patient

Every patient gets a clinical baseline including a genetic test, personal and family history reviewed by a genetic counsellor, and baseline screening recommendations.

~50%

Half of patients

Screening guidelines meaningfully adjusted based on family history and genetic test review.

~15%

One in seven

A genetic variant that influences their health is identified. A counsellor walks the patient through what it means and what's next.

6–8%

High impact

Pathogenic or likely pathogenic finding with a full management plan, specialist referrals, cascade testing for family, and specific surveillance protocols unlocked.

Clinical rigour

Built around what's clinically actionable, nothing else.

Eugene is designed to remove ambiguity: only variants you can act on, reviewed by people qualified to interpret them.

Only pathogenic & likely-pathogenic variants reported

No variants of uncertain significance. No ambiguous findings for you or your patient to navigate.

Curated against international guidelines

ACMG, ClinGen, eviQ, NCCN, CSANZ and the Heart Foundation. Updated as guidelines evolve.

Reviewed by clinical geneticists

Every result undergoes multidisciplinary review with geneticists specialising in cancer and cardiac genetics.

Processed in accredited laboratories

All samples processed in CLIA and CAP-certified partner laboratories.

These charts show the distribution of genes across health impact categories in our cancer, cardiac, and comprehensive preventative panels. The chart widths are proportional to each panel’s total genes.

This categorisation is based on the primary health impacts of each gene. Some genes influence multiple systems, but each is grouped by its single most clinically relevant impact.

Eugene Labs
The Eugene platform

Sequence once. Build on it over time.

Eugene patients are sequenced once. As panels expand and new analyses become available, patients can come back to expand their results, without re-sequencing or re-collecting a sample.

The clinical relationship doesn't end at the result. Your patient stays in our care, and the genomic foundation keeps working for them.

The clinical workflow

Five steps. Four to six weeks.

From referral to clinical summary letter, Eugene handles everything between.

1

Refer the patient

3-minute referral.

2

At-home saliva sample

Prepaid envelope.

3

Accredited lab analysis

CLIA, CAP labs.

4

Genetic counsellor consult

One-on-one telehealth.

5

Clinical summary to you

Action-ready letter.

A real case

6 to 8% of asymptomatic patients screened return an actionable finding.

A patient in her late 30s, no personal or family history of cardiac disease. Preventative genomic screening identified a pathogenic SMAD9 variant associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension. She and her children were referred for cardiological surveillance and are now under active monitoring: a management pathway that would not have been initiated without screening.
