Breast cancer SNP testing refers to analysing specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)—which are variations at a single position in a DNA sequence—to assess genetic risk for developing breast cancer. SNPs (pronounced “snips”) are the most common type of genetic variation among people. Each SNP represents a difference in a single DNA building block (nucleotide)
Key points:
SNP testing for breast cancer is a personalised risk prediction tool, helpful for tailoring prevention and screening strategies. It’s part of the broader move toward precision medicine.
Testing a person SNP’s will provide a Polygenic Risk Score (PRS)
A Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) is a number that estimates a person’s genetic predisposition to a breast cancer, based on the presence of many small genetic variants (SNPs – single nucleotide polymorphisms). Unlike mutations in genes like BRCA1/2, which have large effects, PRS aggregates the tiny effects of many genes to assess risk.
Personalised breast cancer prevention with genetic risk assessment provides early warnings, even in individuals with no family history of cancer. Our test guides you toward tailored screening and prevention strategies based on your unique risk level.

Saliva samples remain stable for up to 6 months under suitable conditions.
Once your sample is received at the laboratory, results are typically reported within 30 working days. If you haven’t received your results after this time, please contact us.
You can access your results online within 6 weeks. The notification about your results will be sent to the email address you provided. If needed, our medical team will contact you to arrange a convenient time to discuss your results.
No, the test evaluates your polygenic risk score but does not assess rare pathogenic mutations in genes such as BRCA1, BRCA2, and others that significantly increase cancer risk.
No, this test is designed to assess your genetic predisposition and provide personalised prevention strategies, not diagnose cancer.
No, an elevated risk does not guarantee you will develop breast cancer. Similarly, a moderate or lower risk does not mean your risk is zero.
No, the test evaluates your personal risk. Polygenic risk scores are not directly inherited in a way that can predict risks for relatives.
Your test results should be interpreted alongside other clinical data. Lifestyle, diet, and other health factors also play a role in breast cancer risk.
