Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK and it can run in families. Genetic testing can help you understand your inherited risk early, so you can take proactive steps to protect your health.
Primary Prostate Cancer–Associated Genes (HRR Pathway)
These genes are involved in Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR) and have been linked to hereditary prostate cancer:
These genes are also linked to breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and gastric cancers.
Other Genes Linked to Prostate Cancer
These genes may not be prostate-specific but are known to increase risk or are part of broader cancer syndromes that include prostate cancer:

Yes! Genetic testing can detect inherited changes in genes such as BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM and CHEK2 that may increase your risk of prostate cancer. Even if you have no symptoms, these insights can help you take steps earlier. At Jeen Health, our at-home DNA test looks at key genes linked to prostate, breast, ovarian and other cancers. This gives you a clearer picture of your inherited risk and the confidence to make proactive decisions about your health.
If you're looking for comprehensive genetic testing to check for inherited risks linked to breast, ovarian, prostate, bowel, pancreatic, or skin cancers, Jeen offers at-home DNA tests across the UK. The test analyses 50 carefully chosen genes, each backed by strong scientific evidence linked to prostate cancer risk. Our testing gives you a clearer view of your genetic risk and helps you make confident, informed decisions about your health.
If prostate cancer is common in your family, particularly if relatives were diagnosed at a younger age or if several family members are affected, genetic testing can be very helpful. It can uncover inherited gene changes, such as BRCA or ATM variants, that may raise your risk and guide more personalised screening or treatment. With Jeen Health, you’ll get reliable results from an easy at-home test, along with expert support from our genetic counsellors to help you make confident, informed decisions.
If your Jeen test shows a genetic mutation linked to prostate cancer, we’re here to guide you. Once your results are reviewed, you'll get a personalised report by email. You can book a follow-up with your genetic counsellor within 24 hours.
