Hereditary cancer risk
Roughly one in three people will develop cancer in their lifetime, and 10% of all cancer is hereditary. By knowing your risk, you can take action to prevent cancer or detect it early.
Your hereditary risk lies in your DNA
While mutations, also called variants, in your DNA that cause hereditary cancer are rare, they can significantly increase your cancer risk.

Is GeneMate® right for me?
GeneMate® is intended for those 18+ who would like to know if they have hereditary cancer risk.
The likelihood of hereditary cancer is increased if you or a close relative1 have had:
- Cancer at a young age
- Several different cancer diagnoses
- A rare form of cancer
Or if several relatives have had:

The absence of a family history, however, does not rule out the possibility hereditary cancer.
