Available Tests

Genetic Testing Panels

All tests are performed at our partner certified laboratory in Guangzhou. Results are provided in English with clinical interpretation. Pricing provided upon consultation.

Hereditary Breast / Ovarian Cancer Panel

BRCA1, BRCA2 and related genes

Assesses hereditary risk for breast and ovarian cancer. Recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of breast or ovarian cancer, or those of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.

Sample Type
Blood
Turnaround
14–21 days
Recommended for: Women with family history of breast or ovarian cancer

Hereditary Cancer Panel — Female

Full hereditary cancer gene panel

Comprehensive hereditary cancer risk assessment for women — covers breast, ovarian, colorectal, endometrial, gastric, and other hereditary cancer syndromes. Recommended for women with a family history of cancer.

Sample Type
Blood
Turnaround
14–21 days
Recommended for: Women with family history of any cancer type

Hereditary Cancer Panel — Male

Full hereditary cancer gene panel

Comprehensive hereditary cancer risk assessment for men — covers colorectal, prostate, gastric, pancreatic, and other hereditary cancer syndromes. Recommended for men with a family history of cancer.

Sample Type
Blood
Turnaround
14–21 days
Recommended for: Men with family history of any cancer type

Septin9 Methylation Test (Blood)

SEPT9 gene methylation

A blood-based colorectal cancer risk assessment test. Detects abnormal methylation of the Septin9 gene — an early molecular marker for colorectal cancer. Non-invasive alternative or complement to colonoscopy.

Sample Type
Blood
Turnaround
7–10 days
Recommended for: Adults aged 40+ for colorectal cancer screening

SDC2 Methylation Test (Stool)

SDC2 gene methylation

A stool-based colorectal cancer risk assessment test. Detects abnormal methylation of the SDC2 gene in exfoliated colorectal cells — highly sensitive for early-stage colorectal cancer detection.

Sample Type
Stool
Turnaround
7–10 days
Recommended for: Adults aged 40+ seeking non-invasive colorectal cancer screening

ApoE Genotyping

APOE gene variants (ε2, ε3, ε4)

Identifies ApoE genotype to assess risk for Alzheimer's disease and amyloid-related neurodegenerative conditions. The ε4 allele is the strongest known genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease.

Sample Type
Blood
Turnaround
7–10 days
Recommended for: Adults with family history of Alzheimer's or cognitive decline

MTHFR Genotyping

MTHFR C677T and A1298C variants

Assesses folate metabolism efficiency. MTHFR variants affect homocysteine levels and folate processing — relevant for cardiovascular risk, pregnancy planning, anaemia management, and folate supplementation guidance.

Sample Type
Blood
Turnaround
7–10 days
Recommended for: Adults with elevated homocysteine, planning pregnancy, or with anaemia

ALDH2 Genotyping

ALDH2 gene variant

Identifies aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) enzyme activity. ALDH2 deficiency is common in East Asian populations and is associated with increased risk of oesophageal cancer, cardiovascular disease, and alcohol-related conditions.

Sample Type
Blood
Turnaround
7–10 days
Recommended for: East Asian adults, particularly those with alcohol flush reaction

Pricing provided upon consultation. Tests can be booked individually or combined. 30% deposit required to confirm appointment. Balance payable on arrival.

Who Should Consider Genetic Testing?

Family History of Cancer
If a parent, sibling, or close relative has been diagnosed with breast, ovarian, colorectal, or other hereditary cancers, genetic testing can clarify your personal risk.
Early Cancer Prevention
Identify elevated risk before symptoms appear, enabling proactive screening schedules, lifestyle changes, and preventive interventions.
Alzheimer's & Cognitive Risk
ApoE ε4 carriers have significantly elevated risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease. Knowing your genotype enables earlier lifestyle and medical planning.
Metabolic & Medication Planning
MTHFR and ALDH2 variants affect how your body processes folate and alcohol — important for pregnancy planning, anaemia treatment, and cardiovascular risk management.
East Asian Heritage
ALDH2 deficiency affects approximately 35–40% of East Asian populations and is associated with increased oesophageal cancer risk from alcohol exposure.
Proactive Health Management
For individuals who want a complete picture of their genetic health profile — beyond standard blood tests — to make informed, long-term healthcare decisions.
Decision Guide

Which Test Is Right for Me?

Not sure where to start? Use this quick guide based on your age, health history, and goals.

Cancer Risk

If: You have a family history of breast, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer

→ BRCA1/2 Hereditary Cancer Panel

Identifies inherited mutations that significantly raise your lifetime cancer risk, enabling early surveillance and preventive options.

Brain Health

If: A parent or grandparent had Alzheimer's or dementia

→ ApoE Genotyping

ApoE ε4 carriers have 3–12× higher Alzheimer's risk. Knowing your status enables earlier lifestyle and medical planning.

Alcohol Metabolism

If: You are East Asian and drink alcohol, or have family history of oesophageal cancer

→ ALDH2 Genotyping

ALDH2 deficiency affects ~40% of East Asians and is linked to 10× higher oesophageal cancer risk from alcohol exposure.

Metabolic Health

If: You have had recurrent miscarriages, blood clots, or unexplained cardiovascular issues

→ MTHFR Mutation Testing

MTHFR variants impair folate metabolism and raise homocysteine, a key cardiovascular and pregnancy risk factor.

Cancer Screening

If: You are 40+ and want non-invasive colorectal cancer screening

→ Septin9 Methylation Test

Detects colorectal cancer DNA in blood at early stages (Stage I–II). Ideal for those who want to avoid colonoscopy.

Full Profile

If: You want a comprehensive genetic health overview

→ Full Genetic Health Panel (Multiple Tests)

Combine BRCA1/2, ApoE, MTHFR, ALDH2, and Septin9 for a complete picture of your hereditary risks across cancer, brain, heart, and metabolism.
