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 Eiira Premium test uses whole genome sequencing (WGS), the most advanced method that allows us to read and analyze the entire set of genetic information (DNA) in your genome, which consists of several billion base pairs. This vast amount of data can be used to identify variations or mutations in a person's DNA that may affect their health or make them more prone to certain diseases. The scale of the sequencing process and the need for specialized equipment, skilled technicians, and advanced computational tools make whole genome sequencing a more expensive option compared to other genetic testing methods, such as panel genetic tests commonly used by most testing providers and hospitals, or whole exome sequencing (WES) used in Eiira Classic.
WGS can be used to analyze both genomic and somatic DNA, but for Eiira's hereditary risk assessment it is performed on a person's genome. This enables the identification of genetic variations that may increase a person's risk of developing certain inherited diseases, such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer or other cancers and diseases, such as heart disease.
Eiira's test and the inclusion of 50 genes: The report includes 50 genes, based on Swedish guidelines, that are known to increase the risk of developing cancer. Genetic information is collected through whole genome sequencing (WGS) and analyzed with computational tools to find mutations linked to increased disease risk. The results are used to provide individualized recommendations for disease prevention, early detection and treatment, leading to more personalized care.
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).
