Carrier screening is a genetic test that shows whether you or your partner carry inherited changes (mutations) in your DNA that could be passed on to your children. Most carriers are completely healthy and unaware they carry these gene changes but when both parents carry the same condition, there’s a higher chance of it affecting their child.
Jeen Health’s carrier screening panel analyses hundreds of genes linked to over 800 inherited conditions, including cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, thalassemia, spinal muscular atrophy, metabolic disorders, and many more.

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.
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.
No — genetic testing shows your risk, not a guarantee. Some people with a genetic variant never develop the condition, while others without a variant might still be affected due to lifestyle or environmental factors.
It’s simple — you speak with one of our expert Genetic Counsellors, receive a home kit in the post, collect a cheek swab, and send it back. Your DNA is analysed in a UK or US lab, and results are ready in under 4 weeks.
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.
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.
Our team of expert Genetic Counsellors is here to help. Whether you're curious about testing, your results, or what’s right for you — we're just a message away.
