TYPICAL MARKET RANGE

WGS reads across the genome. WES and panels focus on limited regions. Inherited disease risk can be present across both coding and non-coding parts of the genome.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

Planning a Family

Couples who want clarity on shared carrier risks before conception.

Family History of Disease

Those with Cardiovascular, oncological, neurological, metabolic and rare conditions in the family.

Preventive Health Leaders

High performers who invest in health knowledge before they need it.

Medication Clarity

Anyone on long-term medications or managing chronic conditions.

CLIENT STORIES

Recent reflections from people using genetic insights to make more informed health and family decisions.

“It gave me clarity, not anxiety.”
30 Years old Woman

“I felt completely healthy, so I never imagined I could be a carrier for beta thalassemia. My report helped me understand what this means — not just for me, but for any future family decisions. Now I know that partner testing matters, and I can plan my life with the right information.”
Carrier Insight for the Future

“It was a relief to know.”
45 Years old Woman

“My report showed no disease risks, but it did find I’m a carrier for a few conditions. I’m healthy today, but now I have the right information for my family and future planning.”
Reassured, and Informed for the Future

“It finally explained what I was feeling.”
Middle-aged man

“I’d struggled with anxiety and blood pressure for years. My genome revealed a rare condition that connected everything. Now I’m monitored properly — and no longer in the dark.”
When Anxiety Finally Made Sense

“For the first time, treatment felt personal.”
50-year-old man

“I found out I had a high genetic risk for cholesterol — and also which medicines suit me best. My doctor chose the right drug from day one. Fewer side effects. More confidence.”
The Right Medicine, From the Start

QUESTIONS

Answers before you decide

If something is not covered here, our team is available for a free conversation before you make any commitment.

Is this a lifestyle DNA test?
No. Karkinos Genetic Test is not a wellness or ancestry product. It focuses exclusively on clinically relevant genetic insights — inherited risk, carrier status, and medication response — reviewed and interpreted by certified clinical professionals.
 
Is this useful for couples planning a family?

Yes — and it is one of the most valuable use cases. Karkinos Genetic Test includes carrier screening as part of the whole genome report. This identifies whether both partners carry variants for the same recessive conditions, enabling informed reproductive planning before conception.

Is my data private and secure?

Your genomic data is handled under strict privacy and security protocols within India. We do not sell or share your data with third parties. You retain full control of your information at all times.

Do I need a doctor's referral?
No referral is required. Our team will guide you through a free pre-test consultation to determine whether Karkinos Genetic Test is appropriate for your situation and answer any clinical questions you may have.
 
How long does the process take?
Typical turnaround from sample collection to report delivery is approx 20 working days. The expected report date is communicated during the process. Whole genome sequencing is a thorough clinical process — we do not cut corners for speed.
 
Is genetic counselling included?
Yes. Expert genetic counselling is a core part of the Karkinos Genetic Test experience — not an optional add-on. Both a pre-test guidance session and a post-result counselling session are included in the price.
 
What is Whole Genome Sequencing vs a gene panel?
A gene panel examines a narrow set of pre-selected genes. Whole Genome Sequencing analyses your complete DNA — over 3 billion base pairs. This gives a far more complete picture and allows for reanalysis as scientific knowledge evolves, without the need for repeat testing.
 

Breast, cervix, ovary, colorectal and lung are among the most common cancers in women.

How important is self-screening?

Your body is made up of many different types of cells. Under normal conditions, cells grow, divide, become old, and die. Then, in most cases, they’re replaced by new cells. But sometimes cells mutate grow out of control, and form a mass, or tumor, instead of dying. Tumors can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Cancerous tumors can attack and kill your body’s tissues. They can also spread to other parts of the body, causing new tumors to form there. This process is called metastasis and it represents cancer that has advanced to a late stage.

Is there a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer?

                  C               :                 Change in bowel or bladder habits
                  A               :                 A wound that does not heal
                  U               :                 Unusual bleeding or discharge
                  T                :                 Thickening or lump in the breast or elsewhere
                  I                 :                 Indigestion or difficulty in swallowing
                  O               :                 Obvious change in a wart or mole
                  N               :                 Nagging cough or hoarseness of voice

Early Detection of Cancer
•        Create awareness about the early warning signs of cancer
•        Encourage breast awareness
•        Encourage oral self-examination
•        Create awareness about symptoms of cervical cancer
•        Examine, as a routine, the oral cavity of patients with history of tobacco use
•        Offer clinical breast examination/ screening for cervical cancer to any woman over 30 years presenting to health facility.
•        Promptly refer any person with a suspicious lesion for accurate diagnosis and treatment
