Genetic Testing
Harpenden Medical offers world-class genetic testing that can reveal your risk of inheriting various health conditions. Obtaining this knowledge will enable you and your health advisors to monitor your body and take preventative action if necessary.
The Benefits of Genetic Testing at Harpenden Medical
The development of genetic testing offers a great opportunity to better understand your body and to protect your long-term health.
We offer the most up-to-date and proven genetic tests to provide reliable and valuable information.
Our genetic tests include:
Broad Spectrum Genetic Cancer Risk
This test can detect gene mutations associated with an increased risk of various solid tumours, including those affecting the breast, ovaries, prostate, colon and thyroid.
BRCA1 and BRCA2 Testing
The presence of these genetic mutations may initiate a raised risk of breast and ovarian cancers.
Cardiac Risk Screening
Multiple gene mutations are implicated in several conditions affecting the heart, including high cholesterol and cardiomyopathy.
Coeliac Disease Screening
Screening can be used to identify the HLA-DQ risk marker, which is associated with coeliac disease.
Preparing for your genetic test
You will have an in-depth consultation with one of our medical professionals before taking your test.
It can be challenging to decide whether or not to undergo genetic testing. You may be considering it because you have noticed health trends in your family or are concerned about your health. Whatever your motivation, we are here to give you all the information you need to make your choice.
Most of these tests indicate risk, not certainty, and we will explain what your results mean and what your next steps should be.

Testimonials
What our patients say...
A beautiful clinic, on truly stunning grounds.
I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to Harpenden Medical Clinic and have booked further treatments on recommendation after a discovery call to explore my health concerns. I can’t wait to go back!

I visited Harpenden Medical following a series of heart-related issues. I have seen various GPs and been prescribed different medications but didn’t see any improvement.
After speaking with Dr Jollyman, for the first time in years I feel I am finally being listened to and given the right advice. I feel better already after a few short weeks of treatment and I look forward to seeing more results.
