- Which medicines suit you
- Dose changes, where your body handles a medicine faster or slower than most
- Which medicines are more likely to give you side effects
Never start, stop or change the dose of any medicine because of this report. Take it to your doctor and decide together.
- You take medication regularly, or several at the same time
- A medicine hasn’t worked for you, or gave you a bad reaction
- You are about to begin long-term treatment and want to get it right the first time, instead of trying one thing after another
- You want to know about inherited disease risk. That is CancerRisk, CardioRisk or MyGeneticRisk.
- You are starting chemotherapy. Ask your oncologist — the urgent checks are done in hospital within days and you should not wait for this result.

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.
