MyGenome
- A full report, written in plain language
- Interpretation by geneticists, checked against international databases
- Findings you and your doctor can act on
- Updates over your lifetime, as scientific knowledge moves on
- You would rather do one test now than add tests one at a time over the years
- You are thinking about having children and want to know what you could pass on, even though you are perfectly healthy yourself
- You want medication guidance included rather than bought separately
- You want a result that can be read again in future as science advances, without giving another sample
- You have one specific worry. If cancer or heart disease runs in your family, CancerRisk or CardioRisk answers that directly for EGP 60,000.
- Your question is only about medicines. MyPharma is EGP 52,000. You don’t need the biggest test to get a good answer.

Almost all of us silently carry a few conditions without being ill. On its own this changes nothing. It matters when both partners carry a fault in the same gene, and then there is a 1 in 4 chance in each pregnancy. That is why testing both partners is what makes the result meaningful.
- Your chances for common conditions like type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. That is the scoring method MyHealthscore uses.
- That you carry nothing. Reading the whole code is not the same as understanding all of it.
- What will actually happen to your health. Genes are one input among many.
- 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.
