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 same or related forms of cancer2

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