Yes, it is easy. We will post a saliva collection kit and a return envelope to your home via Postnord. You simply spit saliva into the collection tube. If you need help, instructions are enclosed in the kit. Once you have collected saliva, you place the kit in the return envelope, which has a paid return label. You can then drop off the envelope at any Postnord service point.
The only other thing you need to do is to provide your details and our family’s medical history. The tools on our website will help you easily input the information. It is okay if you don’t provide your family medical history because you don’t know or you prefer not to.
The risk for 10 cancer types is mapped out by using the proven risk models and reference risk estimation data that are recommended in Swedish national guidelines. The below information is used as input to the mapping:
  • The results of your genetic tests. You can find more information in the section "What is the technology behind the genetic test?"
  • Your family medical history. Given the limitation of the current genomic science, your genetic test data alone cannot predict all risks. The family’s medical history contains much hereditary information. In some cases, family history alone can predict hereditary cancer risk. Therefore family medical history is used as part of the input.
  • Information on you and your medical history. Personal information such as ethnicity and ancestry roots have an impact on our hereditary risks. Your lifestyle and medical history affect the risk level.
Note that the risks we report are hereditary risks. That is the risk that you inherited from your biological parents.
Bakom testet ligger en av de mest avancerade teknikerna som kallas Whole Exome Sequence (WES). Först analyseras ditt salivprov och alla DNA från könscellerna som är ansvariga för att generera dina proteiner fångas upp. Med “germinal” menas endast det DNA som du ärvde från dina föräldrar vid befruktningen. Därefter söker analysen efter eventuella patogena genförändringar (så kallade varianter) i DNA-data (dvs. dina hela exomdata).

I vår rapport ingår 50 gener som är kända för att orsaka en kraftigt ökad risk för att utveckla cancer. Urvalet av dessa 50 gener baseras på svenska nationella riktlinjer.

Because germline DNA remains the same during a person’s lifetime, you do not need to take another genetic test for your whole exome data. As genomic science and cancer prevention measures are constantly being discovered, you can enjoy these new advancements without taking another test.
First of all, we need to understand that the risk is the likelihood of developing cancer:
  • Risk is not a diagnosis.
  • Some people with high risk never have cancer.
  • Similarly, people with low risk can still develop cancer.
Second, there are preventive measures to empower you. The report will inform you of proactive options available in Sweden. For many cancers, over 90% (close to 100% for breast cancers) survive if discovered early. The healthcare system has a number of monitoring programs to discover cancers early. We’ll inform you how to enter the Swedish healthcare system. There are also preventive healthcare partners that we can recommend to you.

What are the ten cancer?

Here is the list of the ten cancers:

Melanoma
Pancreatic
Kidney/Renal
Colorectal cancer
Prostate for men
Ten types of cancer
Thyroid
Breastsfor men and women
Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer
Uterinefor women
Ovarianfor women

Genes associated

To make this assessment, we have analyzed 50 genes in your DNA to identify the possible presence of disease-causing variants that are linked to an increased cancer risk. These genes have been selected based on their association with certain specific cancers or cancer syndromes. The table below shows the genes linked to the 10 different cancers covered by the analysis (i.e. the genes where we know that people carrying a disease-causing variant have an increased risk of cancer).
