Test Details
What genes are screened?
This test screens 65 genes that increase your risk of developing some of the most common types of cancer - including breast, ovarian, bowel and prostate cancer. Common examples include:
BRCA1 & BRCA2
Breast, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate cancer and melanoma.
MLH1, MHS2, MSH6 & PMS2
Lynch Syndrome: bowel, ovarian and uterine cancer.
What can I do with the results?
Your test results identify any gene variations found and provide a tailored action plan to prevent cancer or reduce your risk:
- Medicare funded screening programs to detect cancer early, when its treatable
- Lifestyle changes to help prevent cancer
- Access to risk reducing medications
- In some cases, preventive surgery.
Is this test right for me?
This test is for individuals looking to be proactive about their long-term health and to personalise their prevention and screening plan.
It doesn't diagnose a person with cancer and is not for people who are currently managing a cancer diagnosis.

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.
-
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, so not every family will have a cancer history. 1 in 20 people have a gene variation that increase their risk of developing cancer. Knowing whether or not there’s one in you or your family could be lifesaving.

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.
In addition, you can also access our free education tools, or take your results to your GP or specialist for follow ups. -
1 in 20 people find out that they carry a variation in one of these 65 genes, which increases their lifetime risk of developing cancer.
-
Your prevention and screening plan depends on the gene variations found. Each variation that is screened for 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.
-
This test focuses on genetic variants that are known to significantly increase the risk of developing a disease, ensuring you get clear and actionable insights. We may also share information on genetic variants that moderately affect your risk.
We don’t report on genetic variants with uncertain clinical impact, known as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), because they can’t be acted upon within a medical setting. Our goal is to provide you with information that empowers you to make informed decisions about your health.
