CancerRisk
- A summary of any gene changes we found
- What they mean for your cancer risk
- A screening and prevention plan
- Guidance written for your doctor
- Two or more close relatives had the same cancer, or related ones
- A relative was diagnosed unusually young, under about 50
- A relative had cancer in both breasts, or ovarian cancer, or breast cancer in a man
- A BRCA or Lynch syndrome result is already known in your family
- You have had cancer yourself and want to know whether it was inherited, for your children’s sake as much as your own
- You have no family pattern and just want a general health baseline. That is MyHealthscore, EGP 42,000.
- Heart conditions also run in your family. MyGeneticRisk covers both areas in one test.
Breast cancer
Gynecological cancers
Prostate cancer
Colorectal cancer
Gastric cancer
Pancreatic cancer
Skin cancer
The 40 genes we check include:
Breast & Ovarian Cancer: BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2
Colorectal & Gastric Cancer: APC, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2
Prostate & Pancreatic Cancer: ATM, CHEK2, TP53
Skin Cancer & Others: PTEN, CDKN2A, STK11
- Whether you carry a fault in any of 40 genes, including BRCA1 and BRCA2, the genes most often behind breast and ovarian cancer that runs in families, as well as PALB2 and the Lynch syndrome genes
- What that means for your risk, with numbers where the science supports a figure
- A screening plan based on international guidelines: which scans, from what age, how often, for you and your doctor to put in place together
- Who else in your family should consider being tested
- The option of a session with a clinical geneticist to go through all of it, charged separately
- That you have no inherited cancer risk. If we find nothing, it means we found no known fault in these 40 genes. It does not rule out inherited risk. Many families with a strong cancer history have a cause that science cannot yet identify. If cancer runs in your family, keep following the screening your doctor has recommended based on that history, whatever this result says.
- Whether you will get cancer. Most cancer is not inherited, and a fault in one of these genes raises your risk without making it certain.
- Sometimes we find a gene change that nobody yet knows how to interpret, not clearly harmful and not clearly harmless. This is common. Your counsellor will explain what happens next.

- Collection Collected in 48–72 hours A nurse comes to you, or use a partner clinic. Results follow in 6 to 8 weeks.
Your health journey made simple
Five steps, from ordering to understanding your results.
Choose your test
Order online from anywhere in Egypt. No doctor’s referral needed. Not sure which one? Our call centre team will help you choose, free.
Book collection
A nurse comes to you at home, usually within 48 to 72 hours. Or give your sample at a partner clinic.
Give your sample
Saliva. A few minutes, no needles, and nothing to prepare beforehand.
The lab works
6 to 8 weeks. Every finding is reviewed by a geneticist against clinical databases before it reaches your report. That review is why it takes weeks, not days.
Results explained
A report in plain language, plus a version for your doctor. A session with a clinical geneticist is available separately.
Questions people ask before buying
What if the result is bad news?
You are never left alone with a result. A clinical geneticist can go through it with you and explain what it means in your situation, and for most findings there is something concrete to do next — earlier screening, closer monitoring, a change to a treatment plan, or knowing which relatives should be tested. Some results carry no action, and we will tell you that plainly rather than dress it up.
Do I need a doctor to order this?
No. You can order any of our tests yourself, without a referral. If you would rather start with a clinic, we work with partner clinics in several locations and can point you to one.
Is genetic counselling included in the price?
Before you buy, yes — our call centre team has a medical background and will help you understand the tests and choose the right one, free of charge. After your results, a session with a clinical geneticist is available and is charged separately from the test.
What sample do you take?
Saliva. It takes a few minutes, there are no needles, and you do not need to fast or prepare in any way.
How long does the whole thing take?
Collection is usually arranged within 48 to 72 hours, either at your home or at a partner clinic. Results take 6 to 8 weeks from the moment the laboratory receives your sample, because every finding is reviewed by a geneticist against clinical databases before it reaches your report.
Can I test my children?
For conditions that only appear in adulthood, the answer is usually no — and that is a deliberate choice, not an unhelpful one. A result a child cannot act on, and did not consent to, is theirs to decide about when they are old enough. Testing a child does make sense when a condition appears in childhood, or when acting early changes the outcome. If you are weighing this up, talk to us first and we will walk through it with you.
