Questions & Answers

The Everygene Health Screen analyzes 84 genes linked to serious, medically actionable conditions.

These genes are selected based on established medical guidelines, where early detection can help prevent disease or reduce severity. The goal is to identify risk before symptoms appear, so you can take action earlier.

The test focuses on conditions where early detection can lead to meaningful intervention.

These include certain hereditary cancers, cardiovascular conditions, and other genetic disorders that can often be managed or prevented when identified early.

This test is designed for adults who want to proactively understand their genetic health risks.

It may be especially helpful if you:

• Have never had genetic testing before
• Want to identify potential risks early
• Prefer a preventive approach to health

If you already have symptoms or a known condition, testing ordered through your healthcare provider may be more appropriate.

Screening tests are designed for people without symptoms. They look for genetic risks that may not yet be known.

Diagnostic tests are used when there is already a known condition, symptoms, or a strong clinical suspicion. These tests are typically ordered by a healthcare provider and may be more targeted.
