Testing Your

Genes

Testing Your Genes Can Offer Valuable Insights Into Various Aspects Of Your Health, Ancestry, And Traits.

reasons why people choose to test their genes

Heart and Disease Risk

Genetic tests can help identify your risk for certain inherited diseases or conditions, such as cancer, heart disease, or Alzheimer’s. Early knowledge of these risks can allow for better prevention or treatment options

Personalised Medicine

Your genetic makeup can affect how you respond to certain medications. Genetic testing can help doctors prescribe the most effective medications and doses for you, based on your unique genetic profile

Ancestry and Ethnicity

Many people use genetic tests to explore their ancestry. These tests can reveal where your ancestors came from and provide a deeper understanding of your ethnic background.

Traits and Characteristics

Genetic testing can provide insights into physical traits (e.g., eye colour, hair colour) and even things like your likelihood of having certain tastes or preferences (such as a predisposition to liking cilantro or being more sensitive to caffeine)

Family Planning

For people planning to have children, genetic testing can help identify potential genetic conditions that could be passed down to offspring. It can also help assess the risk of inherited disorders

Fitness and Nutrition

Some genetic tests offer insights into how your body responds to exercise, diet, and nutrition. This can help you optimize your fitness routine or dietary choices based on your genetic predispositions

Peace of Mind

For some, testing their genes can offer peace of mind, especially if they have a family history of a genetic condition. Testing can confirm whether or not they carry certain genetic markers

We test more than 400 traits according to your DNA

Types Of Tests

  • Diagnostic Testing

    Explains Current Symptoms

    Assesses Future Risk

  • Carrier Screening

    Identifies Risk Of Passing Genetic Disorders

  • Pharmagenomics

    Predicts Response To Medications

  • Prenatal & Newborn Testing

    Detects Conditions Before or Right After Birth

YourGenes Testing

YourGenes simplifies genetic testing by breaking it down into two clear panels: Lifestyle, which explores how your DNA influences everyday wellness choices, and Health, which provides deeper insights into medical risks and preventive care.

Lifestyle Panels

YourSkin

is a personalised genetic skin test that reveals how your DNA shapes your skin—today and over time. It delivers meaningful insights that help you care for your skin with confidence, precision, and purpose.

YourDental

Is a personalised genetic test that reveals how your genetics influence your oral and dental health— now and over time. It provides insight into the biological factors that affect your teeth, gums, and overall oral wellbeing, helping you take a proactive approach to prevention and care

YourDiet

Is a personalised genetic nutrition test that reveals how your genetics influence the way your body responds to food. It provides deeper insight into metabolism, nutrient processing, and dietary sensitivities—helping you make smarter, more effective nutrition choices

YourFitness

Focuses on performance, adaptation, and physical resilience. This genetic test explores the biological traits that influence how your body builds muscle, produces energy, recovers from training, and responds to physical stress

YourAllergy

Explores how your immune system is genetically primed to respond to environmental and food-related triggers. This test focuses on inherited tendencies linked to allergic reactions, immune sensitivity, and inflammatory responses—helping you anticipate and manage potential allergy risks.

YourMind

Explores the genetic factors that influence how your brain processes stress, focus, mood, and cognitive demand. This test provides insight into inherited tendencies related to mental resilience, emotional regulation, and response to environmental pressures

YourAging

Is a genetic longevity test that evaluates telomere length—one of the most widely studied markers of biological ageing. While your chronological age reflects the number of years you’ve lived, your biological age reflects how your cells are ageing over time

YourGut

is a comprehensive microbiome analysis designed to evaluate the balance, diversity, and abundance of bacteria living in your gut. The gut microbiome plays a vital role in digestion, immune function, metabolism, inflammation control, and overall wellbeing. Scientific research increasingly shows that imbalances in gut bacteria (dysbiosis) are associated with numerous chronic and lifestyle-related conditions.

Health Panels

YourCancer

Is a genetic risk assessment designed to evaluate inherited variations associated with certain cancers. While most cancers are influenced by multiple factors—including lifestyle and environment—some individuals carry genetic variants that may increase susceptibility.

YourAutoimmune

Is a genetic risk assessment designed to explore inherited variations associated with autoimmune susceptibility. Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system mistakenly targets the body’s own tissues. While environmental triggers and lifestyle factors play a role, genetic predisposition can influence how the immune system regulates and responds

YourCardiology

Is a genetic risk assessment designed to evaluate inherited factors associated with cardiovascular health. Heart disease is influenced by a combination of genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Identifying genetic predispositions can support earlier awareness and more personalised prevention strategies.

YourNeurology

Is a genetic risk assessment designed to evaluate inherited factors associated with neurological health. Brain and nervous system conditions can be influenced by both genetics and lifestyle. Identifying genetic predispositions allows for earlier awareness, informed monitoring, and proactive health planning

YourInherited

Is a comprehensive genetic screening test designed to evaluate inherited variations associated with hereditary conditions and carrier status. Many genetic conditions are passed down through families, sometimes silently, without obvious symptoms until later in life or in future generations

YourMedication

Is a pharmacogenomic test designed to evaluate how your genes may influence the way your body processes and responds to certain medications. Individuals can metabolise drugs differently based on inherited genetic variations — affecting effectiveness, dosing requirements, and the likelihood of side effects

YourIntimateHealth

Is a comprehensive molecular diagnostic test designed to detect sexually transmitted infections (STIs) with high sensitivity and precision. Using advanced PCR technology, this test identifies the presence of specific pathogens to support timely diagnosis and appropriate clinical management

YourRespiratory

Is a molecular diagnostic test designed to detect pathogens responsible for respiratory infections. Using advanced PCR-based technology, this test identifies viral and bacterial organisms with high sensitivity and specificity

Frequently Asked Questions

What Type Of Test Does YourGenes Offer?

YourGenes provides a comprehensive portfolio of genetic, microbiome, pharmacogenomic, and molecular diagnostic tests. Our panels are designed to support preventative health, personalised medicine, and infectious disease detection.

Are These Tests Diagnostic?

Some of our tests (such as YourIntimateHealth and YourRespiratory) are molecular diagnostic tests that detect active pathogens.

Our genetic panels assess inherited risk or biological tendencies and do not diagnose disease. Results should always be interpreted in consultation

with a healthcare professional.

How Accurate Are The Tests?

Our molecular diagnostic tests use PCR-based technology for high sensitivity and specificity.

Our genetic tests analyse validated genetic markers supported by scientific research. All testing is performed in accordance with established laboratory standards.

Who Should Consider Genetic Testing?

Genetic testing may benefit individuals interested in preventative health planning, personalised lifestyle strategies, medication optimisation, hereditary risk awareness, or family planning.

Can Lifestyle Influence My Genetic Risk?

Yes. Genetics may influence susceptibility, but lifestyle, environment, diet, exercise, stress, and healthcare monitoring significantly impact overall health outcomes.

Is My Information Confidential?

Yes. YourGenes follows strict confidentiality and data protection standards. Personal and genetic data are handled securely and ethically.
