Genetic testing • Lynch syndrome • No GP referral

Does bowel cancer run in your family? Test for the inherited cause.

An at-home genetic test that checks for inherited gene changes linked to hereditary bowel (colorectal) cancer, including Lynch syndrome — the most common inherited cause — so you and your family can understand your risk and screen earlier.

What the test looks at

Lynch syndrome is caused by changes in the DNA mismatch-repair genes and is the most common inherited cause of bowel cancer. This genetic panel checks the key genes — MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2 and EPCAM — associated with hereditary colorectal cancer.

How it works Order the genetic test

Who should consider this test

Testing is often chosen where a family pattern points to an inherited cause of bowel cancer.

Bowel cancer in more than one relative
Bowel cancer diagnosed under 50 in the family
A relative with a known Lynch syndrome mutation
A personal or family history of bowel polyps
Related cancers in the family (womb, ovarian, stomach)
You want to guide earlier screening such as colonoscopy

ImportantLynch syndrome raises risk but does not make cancer certain. A positive result usually means earlier and more frequent bowel screening is recommended, which can catch problems early or prevent them. Genetic counselling is included to help you understand your results and your options. This is a genetic risk test, not a diagnosis of cancer.

FAQ

What is Lynch syndrome?

An inherited condition, caused by changes in DNA mismatch-repair genes, that raises the risk of bowel and some other cancers. It's the most common inherited cause of bowel cancer.

How is this different from ColoAlert?

ColoAlert screens your stool now for signs of bowel cancer; this genetic test looks at inherited genes to see whether higher risk runs in your family. Many people use both.

Does a positive result mean I'll get cancer?

No — it means increased risk. It usually leads to earlier, more frequent screening that can catch problems early or prevent them.

Is genetic counselling included?

Yes — a qualified counsellor helps you understand your results and what earlier screening might be advised.

Do I need a GP referral?

No — you can order directly.

Safety noteA significant family history of bowel cancer can be complex. Your included genetic counselling session helps you interpret your results; you can also involve your GP.
