Powerful Tool for
Genetic Cancer
Genetic Cancer Testing (CGx)
1/3 women and 1/2 men will develop cancer during their lifetime.
If you think you have COVID-19 or if you require a COVID-19 test, consider the easy at-home testing solution from Home Genetics. You can avoid a trip to the doctor’s office and prevent exposure to yourself and others.
​
With Home Genetics’ SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing, you perform your own saliva swab and return the sample directly to our lab. Within 24 hours of our lab receiving it, your results will be posted online. If you need proof that you have a negative test, you can print a copy of your report from your computer.​
When you order your SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing kit, everything you need (i.e. sample collection, instructions, etc) will be delivered to your door. After reading the instructions you will insert a small, sterile cotton swab into your mouth to obtain saliva. You will then place the swab in a secure tube, place it in the pre-paid envelope, and drop it in the mail.
​
Testing is completed within 24 hours of our receipt of your sample and results are posted in our patient portal for secure and easy access.
​
Most insurance plans will cover this test. The cash price of the test is $109.
How It Works
Home Genetics’ CGx genetic testing looks for certain types of genes in order to identify variations that are associated with certain types of cancer. Our state-of-the-art sequencing technology tests for XXX different gene markers.
​
Specific combinations are identified and analyzed, and the results are displayed in the form of an easy-to-read report with clinically actionable information that you your doctor can use for a more “personalized” approach to your care.
