Genetic Testing Services
Hereditary cancer, cardiovascular & longevity panels.
Our flagship panel covers more than 200 genes implicated in hereditary cancers (BRCA1/2, Lynch syndrome, hereditary diffuse gastric cancer), familial cardiovascular disease (FH, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, long QT), and longevity-relevant markers (APOE, FOXO3, klotho). Methylation-based epigenetic age and telomere length round out the report.
Right drug, right dose, the first time.
PGx testing identifies CYP450 variants that affect how you metabolise common medications: anticoagulants, SSRIs, statins, opioids, and oncology drugs. We integrate results into your medical record so future prescriptions are calibrated to your genome.

Frequently Asked
How is the sample collected?
A simple buccal swab or saliva tube. No blood draw required for the core panel; whole-genome sequencing requires a small EDTA blood sample.
How long do results take?
Standard reports return in 4–6 weeks. Pharmacogenomics in 2 weeks. Methylation age in 6–8 weeks.
Is my genetic data kept private?
Yes. Samples are processed in CAP/CLIA-accredited labs under PIPEDA. Data is never sold or shared without your written consent.
Do you offer counselling?
Every report includes a 45-minute physician consultation; complex findings are referred to a certified genetic counsellor.
Is genetic testing covered by MSP in BC?
Sometimes. Eligible patients referred by a physician can receive publicly funded testing through provincial specialist programs, such as BC Cancer's Hereditary Cancer Program or the Provincial Medical Genetics Program. The comprehensive panels, PGx and epigenetic-age tests we offer are self-pay.
How much does genetic testing cost?
It depends on the panel — hereditary cancer, cardiovascular, PGx or epigenetic age. At your consultation the physician recommends the panels that fit your family history and goals and gives you an exact quote.
Who should consider genetic testing?
People with a family history of cancer or heart disease, anyone on long-term medication who wants to know how their body processes it (PGx), couples planning a family (carrier screening), and people building a long-term prevention plan.
