Genetic Bowel Cancer
A genetic test that looks for variants in 13 genes associated with inherited bowel cancer and Lynch syndrome.
Results usually available within 4-6 weeks after the laboratory receives your sample
What does it check?
- Lynch syndrome genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM)
- Polyposis syndrome genes (APC, MUTYH, SMAD4, BMPR1A, POLE, POLD1, STK11)
Who may benefit?
Individuals with a personal or family history of colorectal cancer at a young age (under 50), multiple family members with colorectal or endometrial cancer, or multiple polyps.

Important information
Detection of a hereditary cancer variant directs tailored colonoscopy surveillance intervals and risk management for the patient and their relatives.
