Will insurance cover this test?

No. At this time geneType™ is a self-pay test. However, you may use FSA/HSA to pay for the test.

Can I order this test if I am a known carrier for a hereditary cancer syndrome (ie. BRCA1 or BRCA2)?

This test is not applicable to men who have personal history of prostate cancer or who have already been shown to have a cancer mutation, for example in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, or a diagnosis of a genetic syndrome that may be associated with an elevated risk of prostate cancer.

Does this test incorporate all potential risk factors for prostate cancer?

Cancer is a multifactorial disease and there are many different risk factors. Of these, geneType™ integrates the most predictive risk factors into the model. Future models may include additional risk factors as the scientific community’s understanding of prostate cancer continues to evolve.

*Patient eligibility dependent on personal medical history, age and sex

Interested in ordering more than one disease? Order geneType™ Multi-Test.

The Multi-Risk suite of tests is for adults 40-85 years of age. At maximum, a woman would be eligible for eight diseases in the panel; a man would be eligible for seven. Starting at age 30, a patient may qualify for geneType’s™ cancer risk assessments only.
