About this test

Some cancers run in families - knowing your risk can make all the difference. It is estimated that around 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer with up to 10% of prostate cancers thought to be inherited.

Our genetic prostate cancer test looks for mutations in 14 key genes associated with increased risk. With this insight you can make informed decisions to help protect your health.

If you have a family history of prostate cancer, breast cancer or ovarian cancer, it might mean you are at increased risk of prostate cancer due to a genetic mutation. It is important to note, having a gene mutation linked to prostate cancer doesn't mean you will develop prostate cancer, but it can increase your risk. Not sure if genetic testing is right for you? For £100, book a phone call with a genetic counsellor to discuss your family history, previous tests, the testing process, genes tested, turnaround times, and potential implications. You'll get expert guidance on the best test for you-plus £100 off your chosen genetic test.

  • Consultation with a genetic counsellor
  • We will contact you within 6 weeks to arrange your results consultation
  • 14 genes analysed from a simple blood sample
