CardioRisk
- A full report, written so you can understand it without a medical degree.
- A version for your doctor, with the detail a cardiologist needs.
- Future updates: if science changes what a gene change means, your stored data can be looked at again.
- A parent, brother, sister or child has a diagnosed heart muscle or heart rhythm condition
- Someone in your family died suddenly and young, and nobody could explain why
- You or a relative has had very high cholesterol from a young age
- Your cardiologist has asked you to have genetic testing
- Cancer runs in your family too. MyGeneticRisk covers both areas for EGP 70,000, which is less than buying the two tests separately.
- You are generally healthy with no family pattern. MyHealthscore is EGP 42,000.
Uses advanced sequencing technology to give a clear picture of your genetic risk.
Keeps your data securely stored, so it can be rechecked in the future as science advances.
Can be expanded if your doctor wants to look at additional genes later on.
Includes expert guidance from medical geneticists to help you and your doctor understand the results.
Updates your doctor if new scientific findings change the meaning of any result that may affect your health.
- Whether you carry a known fault in any of the 100 genes we check
- What it means for you, and for your children, parents and brothers and sisters, since these conditions are passed down and they may want testing too
- A screening and prevention plan for you and your cardiologist to put in place together
- The option of a session with a clinical geneticist to go through all of it, charged separately
- That you have no inherited heart risk at all. If we find nothing, it means we found no known fault in these 100 genes. Some families have a cause that science cannot yet identify. If heart problems run in your family, keep following the plan your doctor has set based on that history.
- Sometimes we find a gene change that nobody yet knows how to interpret. Your counsellor will explain what happens next.
- Whether you will develop a heart problem for the ordinary reasons: diet, blood pressure, smoking, age.
- What you give Saliva No needles, no fasting, nothing to prepare
- Doctor's referral Not needed Order it yourself, or start at a partner clinic
- Genetic counselling Free before, extra after Our call centre helps you choose at no cost. A session with a clinical geneticist after your results is charged separately.
- 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.
