GenePlus 79 Genes Hereditary Cancer Screening Package for Male & Female

Did you know?

• Around 10% of all cancers are caused by hereditary genetic mutations.
• Some cancers, including hereditary ones ( i.e. kidney, retinoblashtoma, melanoma,etc.) may ave high " 5-years survival rates" of over 90%, when diagnosis is early stage and the cancer does not spread out yet from the organs.
• An inherited gene mutation is passed through generations. Individuals with as family history of cancer may have an increased risk of cancer. 

An abnormal change in a gene is called a mutation which can affect how it functions. Gene mutations can be either inherited or acquired.

An acquired (somatic) mutation does not come from a parent, but is acquired some time later. These changes can be caused by environmental factors. Acquired mutations can not be passed to the next generation. 

GenePlus Hereditary Cancer Screening Package analyzes mutations across 79 genes that are associated with 18 types of hereditary cancers, including some of the most commonly occurring cancer such as hereditary breast, ovarian, colorectal, prostate and stomach cancer.

How is my DNA tested?

Relieale Testing

Your DNA is tested at a Hong Kong based stated-of the-art " Next Generation Sequencing" genetic testing laboratory, with accreditation from the College of American Pathologists and with ISO certificates for management systems and information security.

Unique Asian Focus

Unlike most genetic testing providers, we work with BGI - a Genome Bank specialised on Asia - thus we access the most comprehensive Asian database available, besides global databases. Therefore GenePlus results are more accurate and reliable, as they take into account the genetic variants of the Asian populations too.

International Team of Experts

Results are analysed and interpreted by international experrts from Hong Kong and Singapore.

CarePlus Genetic Counsellors will guilde you through the testing process, will explain in details your results and will advise you on any future steps in taking care of your health.

Is hereditay cancer inevitable?

Having genetic mutations that increase the risk of developing hereditary cancers does not mean that you will surely have cancer in the future.

Our doctors will have advise in details on how to assess and manage the risks of herditary cancers based on the test results, family history and many other factors.

Preventive solutions may include medical interventions, medications, more frequent screenings and lifestyle changes.
