Simple steps to check for Hereditary Cancer Risk with Jeen.
Buy your online genetic consult + cancer screening kit. It will prepare you for all the outcomes of your test.
Complete your consent form and we will book a 45-min call with our specialist.
Get your kit, collect sample with swab, package, sent and receive your results online.
A simple, low-cost option with flexible scheduling. For many patients, this is the quickest and most practical way to complete the test.
At Jeen Health, breast cancer genetic testing is available to anyone who wants to understand their inherited risk, particularly if you or your family have a history of breast, ovarian, or related cancers. You don’t need a GP referral, and there are no complicated eligibility rules. Even if you feel perfectly healthy, genetic testing can uncover changes in your DNA that you might not be aware of. During your consultation, our expert team will guide you through your options and help you decide whether testing is right for you.
With Jeen Health, one genetic test is all you need and you only take it once in your life for those 50 key genes. In the UK, the NHS offers routine breast screening every three years for women aged 50 to 71. But if you have a higher inherited risk, such as a BRCA mutation, screening may need to start earlier and happen more often, sometimes every year. That’s where genetic testing comes in. It reveals hidden risks so your screening plan can be personalised to you, not based on averages. With this knowledge, you can take action sooner and feel confident about protecting your health.
Jeen’s at-home breast cancer genetic test is just as accurate as hospital-based testing. We partner with the accredited laboratory Fulgent Genetics, which uses advanced 50x DNA sequencing to detect inherited risks with precision. Alongside your test, you’ll receive expert support from our genetic counsellors, who explain your results clearly and compassionately before, during and after testing. It’s trusted, clinical-grade care, delivered in the comfort of your own home.
At Jeen, your genetic testing journey takes up to four weeks from start to finish. You'll have a consultation with a genetic counsellor, receive an at-home cheek swab kit, and send it back by post. Your DNA is analysed in a certified lab, and results are shared with you promptly, so you can take the next steps with confidence.
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.
