Up to 10% of cancers are hereditary – but most people at risk don’t know it.
The Know Your Risk Quiz screens for the most common types: Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (BRCA1/2) and Lynch syndrome.
If you have a gene mutation that causes an increased risk of cancer, your risk of certain cancers could be significantly higher than average.
Your DNA Holds Clues That Could Save Your Life
Knowing your risk early can help you prevent cancer or catch it early, when it’s most treatable.

Take action to prevent cancer

What's Genetic Counseling – and Who Will You Talk To?
Genetic counseling is a one-on-one conversation with a certified expert who helps you understand how your family history and genes may impact your health.

I’ll help you make informed decisions about genetic testing, choose the right test (if needed), and feel confident about your next steps.
