Sample patient report

One report.
Actionable insights.

geneType™ provides a risk assessment report that will assist you in developing a personalized health plan for your patients.

Key features of a geneType™ report include:

  • Quick identification of your patient’s absolute risk score
  • Interpretation of these risk scores in the context of current guidelines
  • Recommendations to assist with joint-decision-making discussions about screening and risk-reducing strategies
  • A polygenic risk score: this score is based on genetic data and is integrated into the overall risk score. It is typically not included in traditional risk assessment models.

Testing is simple

Step 1

Register as a provider; our team will provide clinical education and other resources as needed.

We will send kits to your clinic to have on hand.

Step 2

Discuss geneType™ with your patient.

Would geneType™ help them qualify for additional risk reduction strategies?

Step 3

Complete the Test Requisition form, collect a saliva sample from the patient with the collection kit provided and return both to Rhythm.

You will have the option to use a paper requisition, or a secure, compliant portal to complete the ordering process.

Step 4

Leave the rest to us.

We will notify you when your patient’s results are ready.

You will have the option to request a consult with a genetic counsellor, whether to review your patient’s results and/or to follow-up with your patient, as needed.

on your team.

We provide multiple levels of support through our 3rd party telehealth partner, DNA Visit.

When your patients’ results are ready you may request:

  • A peer-peer clinical consult by secure chat or phone
  • GC clinical review of the results; you will be provided clinical summary notes for your files.
  • A patient referral visit with the GC; the GC will scheule a follow -up with the patient to interpret the geneType™ results. GC will provide clinical summary notes for your files.

Our goal is to support both healthcare providers and patients through this journey. This is not a test-and-forget approach.

If you have technical questions, or questions around a patient’s clinical report or setting up your customized support plan our Medical Affairs Team is available to you.
