*Genghis Khan conquered half the world and fathered enough children that 1 in 200 men today might carry his DNA. Fun fact, but we’re less interested in ancient empires and more in mapping something truly powerful: your genetic risk for cancer.

What do we test for?

Know your genes, protect your future. Over 5,000 diseases are linked to genetic mutations. Early insights through genetic testing can help with prevention, early detection and personalised healthcare decisions.

1 in 2

Are estimated to have cancer in their lifetime in the UK

Up to 10% of those are due to genetic mutations we test for, such as BRCA1, BRCA2 and more.

>90%

Of the population will carry one or more mutation

From the ~800 genes we screen for in our carrier screening test. Making this test actionable and clinically significant.

13%

General risk for breast cancer in a women's lifetime in the UK

However, some mutations such as BRCA1 can indicate a risk of >70% for breast cancer in your lifetime.

1 in 8

Men will have develop prostate cancer in their lifetime

However, this varies by ethnicity and can be increased due to genetic variation.

I am still in the process but so far my experience has been so positive. Everyone I have spoken to on the phone has been really helpful and kind. The people I have spoke to have really gone out of their way to explain things so I understand the process.

I had a great experience with Jeen [the London Pregnancy Clinic] for my carrier screening. The staff was kind, professional, and attentive, and I received my results much faster than expected. I highly recommend them!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is genetic testing?

Genetic testing looks at your DNA to find changes or variants in your genes. These changes can tell us if you’re at risk for certain inherited conditions, like hereditary cancers or if you’re a carrier for a genetic condition.

What can genetic testing tell me?

It can reveal if you have a higher genetic risk for certain cancers (like breast, ovarian or bowel), if you’re a carrier for inherited conditions, or if you have a genetic condition that could impact your health or your family’s.

Will the results tell me if I’ll definitely get a disease?

The meaning of your results depends on the type of test you've had. Some genetic tests are screening tools that assess the likelihood or risk of a condition, while others are more diagnostic in nature.

Genetic tests can look for variations in your DNA that may be associated with certain conditions. In some cases, a result may indicate an increased risk, but not a certainty, of developing a condition. In others, it may suggest you carry a genetic change without it ever affecting your health.

Not all people with a disease-causing variant will go on to develop the condition, and some without a detectable variant may still be affected due to non-genetic factors such as environment, lifestyle, or chance.

Always discuss your results with a qualified healthcare provider or genetic counsellor to fully understand what they may (or may not) mean for you and your family.

How does it work?

It’s simple. You’ll first speak with one of our expert Genetic Counsellors. Depending on your location and the type of test, you’ll either receive a saliva kit in the post for an at-home cheek swab, or we’ll arrange a at-home blood sample collection.

Blood draws can be done at our partner clinic in Shoreditch, Spital Clinic, or by a mobile phlebotomist visiting your home. Your sample is then sent to a certified lab in the UK or US, and results are typically ready in under 4 weeks.

Is my data safe and private?

Yes. At Jeen Health, your data is encrypted and stored securely on our GDPR compliant servers, as well as with our vetted laboratories. Your results are only shared with you and your dedicated Genetic Counsellor, never with insurers or third parties.

Is genetic testing only for people with a family history of disease?

Not at all. While a strong family history increases your risk, many people with genetic conditions have no known family history. Testing helps you uncover hidden risks you wouldn’t otherwise know about.
