[ about MyGeneticRisk ]
Both of the above in one test: 162 genes covering inherited heart conditions and inherited cancers.
Providing:
  1. We read the part of your code that carries instructions, and interpret 162 genes in detail.
  2. Your data is stored securely, so it can be looked at again as science advances.
  3. The option to extend the analysis to more genes later, from the same sample.
  4. A session with a clinical geneticist on request, charged separately.
  5. Your full report within 8 weeks.

[who is it for]
Right for you if
For adults, 18 and over
  • You have both cancer and heart disease in the family
  • You don’t know your family medical history, because you were adopted, lost touch, or nobody talked about it
  • You want the widest check for inherited conditions without going to a full genome
[not this one]
This isn't the one you need if
  • Only one of the two runs in your family. CardioRisk or CancerRisk alone is EGP 60,000.
  • You are mainly worried about how your medicines work. That is MyPharma.
[About MyGeneticRisk]
What Does It Analyze?
We look for gene changes passed down through families, across these areas:

Heart muscle conditions

Heart rhythm conditions

RASopathies, a group of syndromes passed down in families

Blood vessel conditions that are passed down

Other syndromes linked to cardiac pathology

Very high cholesterol that runs in families

Breast cancer

Gynecological cancers

Prostate cancer

Colorectal cancer

Gastric cancer

Pancreatic cancer

[test results]
What you'll get back
  • Everything CardioRisk and CancerRisk give you, from one sample and in one report
  • A single screening plan covering both areas, rather than two you have to reconcile
  • The option to extend the analysis to more genes later, from the same sample
  • The option of a session with a clinical geneticist to go through all of it, charged separately
[the limits]
What this test can't tell you
  • That you have no inherited risk. If we find nothing, it means we found no known fault in the genes we check. Some families have a cause that science cannot yet identify. If cancer or heart problems run in your family, keep following the plan your doctor has set based on that history.
  • Whether you will develop cancer or a heart problem. A fault raises your risk without making it certain, and most illness is not inherited.
  • Sometimes we find a gene change that nobody yet knows how to interpret. Your counsellor will explain what happens next.

Your health journey made simple

Five steps, from ordering to understanding your results.

01

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.

02

Book collection

A nurse comes to you at home, usually within 48 to 72 hours. Or give your sample at a partner clinic.

03

Give your sample

Saliva. A few minutes, no needles, and nothing to prepare beforehand.

04

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.

05

Results explained

A report in plain language, plus a version for your doctor. A session with a clinical geneticist is available separately.

[ common questions ]

Questions people ask before buying

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.

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.

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.

Saliva. It takes a few minutes, there are no needles, and you do not need to fast or prepare in any way.

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.

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.
