Ovarian cancer is one of the most serious gynaecological cancers in the UK and can be difficult to detect early. Genetic testing can reveal inherited risks, giving you the chance to take action sooner and protect your health.
Primary Ovarian Cancer–Associated Genes (HRR Pathway)
These genes are involved in Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR) and are the most commonly linked to hereditary ovarian cancer:
These genes are also associated with breast, pancreatic, prostate, and other solid tumours.
Other Genes with Ovarian Cancer Risk
These are part of broader cancer syndromes but include ovarian cancer in their spectrum:
These are DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes, associated with Lynch syndrome, which increases the risk for ovarian, colorectal, endometrial, and other cancers.

You don’t need a strong family history to benefit from ovarian cancer genetic testing. Inherited risks can quietly pass through generations without being diagnosed. If you or close relatives have had breast, colorectal, endometrial, or other related cancers or if there are unusual patterns of illness in your family (genetic testing may reveal hidden risks). With Jeen Health, our simple at-home test and expert support help you take control early, with insights that can guide your screening and prevention plan.
At Jeen, we analyse inherited changes in key genes linked to ovarian cancer, including BRCA1, BRCA2, RAD51C, EPCAM, and BRIP1, among others. Using advanced 50x DNA sequencing, we process your cheek swab sample with the same accuracy you’d expect in a hospital setting. Your results are carefully reviewed by experts and explained in a consultation with one of our genetic counsellors, so you fully understand your risk and the options available to you.
Our genetic testing for cancer at Jeen is designed for accuracy and reliability. Our partner lab uses advanced technology called 50x sequencing, which reads each part of your DNA about 50 times. This helps us find inherited gene changes linked to cancers like breast, ovarian, prostate, and bowel cancer. While no test can guarantee you'll or won't get cancer, ours gives you trusted insights to help you plan ahead. Learn more about the statistics here at Jeen.
