Essential information for cancer free life
Women can inherit breast cancer susceptibility from their father. Men can inherit prostate cancer susceptibility from their mother. Genesis helps you gain access to data about your cancer risk, so you can take action towards a healthy life. We look at two genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2. These genes are in our DNA and work to protect us from certain cancers. Change in any one of these genes, called a “mutation,” can hinder with the ability of these genes to prevent cancer. With a small sample of your saliva, Genesis can determine your risk of getting cancers of the breast, prostate, ovary and pancreas. Our extensive genetics expertise can help you take timely action towards a cancer free life.
