At IGP, we are committed to providing the latest genetic tests and tools to assist you in managing your health. We have partnered with two UK genetic laboratories to ensure our patients receive industry leading solutions for their genetic testing needs.
Genetic testing can be used to identify whether an individual is at risk of developing common hereditary diseases or conditions. This enables you to take control of your healthcare to detect, understand and manage any problems at an early stage, when they are most treatable. Through the analysis of your DNA, by using a sample of your saliva, it is possible to establish if you have any specific genetic mutations which are associated with an increased risk of developing conditions such as certain forms of cancer.
The Multi-Cancer Panel is a genetic test comprising of a panel of 72 genes which has been uniquely designed to help individuals understand their risk of developing 12 of the most common hereditary cancers: Breast, Colorectal, Endometrial, Gastric, Melanoma, Ovarian, Pancreatic, Prostate, Renal, Skin , Thyroid, Uterine.
This test is suitable for:
Patients 18+ only

The 12 Gene Breast Cancer Panel identifies genetic mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes which are associated with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer syndrome (HBOC), along with a further 10 established genes.
This test is suitable for:
Patients 18+ only
Patients who do not have symptoms or a diagnosis of cancer, with or without a known family history of cancer

Our Epigenetic Health Test is a cutting-edge assessment of your overall health and wellness, offering a unique look at how your genes are expressed and how they may be influencing your health. Using a simple saliva sample, our test examines over 100 epigenetic markers that can impact a wide range of health-related traits, including risk for certain diseases and conditions, diet and nutrition, and even mental health.
This test is suitable for:
Patients 18+ only
Those wanting to identify susceptibility to specific diseases and conditions
Those wanting to identify dietary and nutritional requirements
Test Type: Home Saliva Test
We want to ensure that all of our patients receive the information they need to make an informed decision about their healthcare. If you have any questions or if you require assistance with anything, please let us know.
