Disclaimer
This simple tool will assess your risk of having inherited a genetic mutation that could increase your risk of developing certain cancers. It's suitable for both men and women.
All you need is a few minutes and some information about your family history of cancer, including the age any relatives were diagnosed.
If you are unsure about your family history, we recommend you speak to your relatives to find out if anyone in your extended family has been diagnosed with cancer.
This tool doesn’t assess your risks of having inherited all possible genetic mutations. It assesses criteria relating to genetic mutations that are responsible for most popular hereditary cancers, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations and Lynch Syndrome (hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer includes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, and EPCAM). However, it also can provide you with valuable information related to other genetic mutations as well as their related cancers. If you are concerned about any other hereditary cancer in your family, please speak to your GP.
Please note: This tool is based on the information you are able to provide and how it relates to the current referral guidelines.

Results
You have answered that at least one of your first-degree relatives has tested positive for a genetic mutation such as BRCA1/2 or Lynch Syndrome.
This means there is a 50% chance that you will have inherited the same mutation.
This also means you are eligible for genetic testing with one of BIOPROGNOS' Hereditary Risk Solutions, such as
RiskBRCA Basic
,
RiskBRCA Advanced
,
RiskGYNE
,
RiskCOLON
, as well as
RiskGLOBAL
(that captures and direct sequences all the genomic regions for 45 genes related with 15 types of Cancer, for complete study).

You have answered that at least one of your second-degree relatives has tested positive for a genetic mutation such as BRCA1/2 or Lynch Syndrome.
This means there is a 25% chance that you will have inherited the same mutation.
This also means you are eligible for genetic testing with one of BIOPROGNOS' Hereditary Risk Solutions, such as
RiskBRCA Basic
,
RiskBRCA Advanced
,
RiskGYNE
,
RiskCOLON
, as well as
RiskGLOBAL
(that captures and direct sequences all the genomic regions for 45 genes related with 15 types of Cancer, for complete study).
Please note: If a first-degree relative of your has been tested and was not found to be carrying the mutation, it's not possible that you would have inherited the mutation. E.g. if your grandmother has a mutation, but your mother (her daughter) hasn't, then you cannot have inherited the mutation from your grandmother. This is because mutations cannot skip a generation.
Remember: Most cancers are not due to a genetic cause, but you should all be aware of the symptoms of Cancer and visit your GP if you notice anything unusual.

Based on your answers, you may be at increased risk of having inherited a genetic mutation such as BRCA1 or BRCA2.
This means you are eligible for genetic testing with one of BIOPROGNOS' Hereditary Risk Solutions, such as
RiskBRCA Basic
,
RiskBRCA Advanced
,
RiskGYNE
,
RiskCOLON
, as well as
RiskGLOBAL
(that captures and direct sequences all the genomic regions for 45 genes related with 15 types of Cancer, for complete study).
From your answers it looks like you are unlikely to be at risk of carrying a BRCA1/2 or Lynch Syndrome gene mutation, but can check for other known gene mutations for other cancers.
In this way, you can ask for testing with
RiskGLOBAL
(that captures and direct sequences all the genomic regions for 45 genes related with 15 types of Cancer, for complete study).
From your answers it looks like you may be at risk of carrying a well-known gene mutation.
In this way, you can ask for testing with
RiskGLOBAL
(that captures and direct sequences all the genomic regions for 45 genes related with 15 types of Cancer, for complete study).
From your answers it looks like you are unlikely to be at risk of carrying a BRCA1/2 or Lynch Syndrome gene mutation and you would not meet the eligibility criteria for genetic testing.
Your risk of developing Cancer is likely to be the same as the general population. However, if in the future you find out about relatives being diagnosed with Cancer, you can use the tool again to see if it changes your risk, as well as ask for
RiskGLOBAL
(that captures and direct sequences all the genomic regions for 45 genes related with 15 types of Cancer, for complete study).
Most cancers are not due to a genetic cause, but we should all be aware of the symptoms of Cancer and visit our GP if we notice anything unusual.
From your answers it looks like someone in your family could have a genetic mutation such as BRCA1/2 or Lynch Syndrome, among others, and you did not know. That could mean you may be at risk of carrying a well-known gene mutation.
In this way, you can ask for testing with
RiskGLOBAL
(that captures and direct sequences all the genomic regions for 45 genes related with 15 types of Cancer, for complete study).
However, if in the future you find out about relatives being tested positive for a genetic mutation such as BRCA1/2 or Lynch Syndrome, among others, or being diagnosed with Cancer, you can use the tool again to see if it changes your risk.
