Genetic Test Kit
Many people carry genetic variants without ever experiencing symptoms themselves. These changes, however, can be passed on to children and may lead to inherited conditions if both parents carry mutations in the same gene.
The Phenome Longevity Carrier Screening Test uses advanced genomic sequencing to analyse thousands of genes linked to serious inherited disorders. By identifying whether you or your partner carry specific genetic variants, the test empowers you to make informed and proactive reproductive decisions.
Our comprehensive panel includes the most clinically relevant and widely recognised conditions, such as:
Tests for 500 inherited conditions and +1000 genes.
Results within 2-3 weeks
Recycleable packaging
Pan-ethnic panel: suitable for individuals of all genetic backgrounds
Reduced rate available for both parents testing

The Phenome Carrier Screening Test helps you discover whether you carry genetic variants that could be passed on to your children. Using a simple at-home DNA collection kit and a detailed carrier status report, you gain clear insights to make confident, informed decisions for your family’s future health and wellbeing.
A clear overview of whether you carry any gene variants linked to inherited conditions. This section highlights all identified findings, including whether they are of clinical relevance and what type of inheritance pattern they follow.
Comprehensive information on the specific genes and variants analysed through next-generation sequencing (NGS). Each variant is classified based on clinical guidelines from ACGS and ClinGen, including gene coordinates, zygosity, and variant classification.
Each detected variant is connected to its related medical condition, providing a concise summary of the disorder, associated risks, and inheritance pattern.
A simple and clear explanation of how genetic inheritance works, including autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X linked patterns, to help you understand how results could affect you and your family.
Some genetic variants are more common in specific populations. This section places your results in context with global data, providing insight into carrier frequencies across different backgrounds.
When relevant, this section explains whether your partner should also be screened based on the inheritance type of any identified variants. Testing both partners helps determine if there is a potential risk for future children.
Even with a negative result, a small residual risk may remain. This section explains why no test can fully eliminate risk due to genetic variability and evolving scientific knowledge.
Definitions of key genetic terms and an outline of how results were interpreted. This section covers databases and classification systems such as ClinVar, gnomAD, ACGS, and ClinGen.
We are grateful to everyone who shared their journey with us. Their honesty reminds us why understanding our biology matters, because behind every test result there is a story of someone finally getting the answers they have been looking for.
My partner and I wanted to do this before trying for a baby. We were nervous at first, but the process felt surprisingly calm. Seeing our results side by side was a huge relief. It made us feel ready in a way that guessing never could.
— Emily and Noah S, 31
I’ve always been curious about my family health history, especially since no one really talks about it. The test made me realise I carry something I’d never have known otherwise. It wasn’t scary, just grounding to know.
— Julia M, 33
We went through this after a recommendation from our doctor. It was emotional but also empowering. Knowing what we carry doesn’t define us, it just helps us make choices with more confidence.
— Rachel L, 35
I was honestly scared to take the test, but the genetic counsellor explained everything so clearly that all my worries disappeared. It felt so personal and human, not technical at all. I left the call feeling grateful and confident about the future.
— Hannah C, 29

Our Carrier Screening Test is a comprehensive genetic test that identifies whether you carry genetic variants that could be passed on to your children. While carriers are typically healthy, they can unknowingly pass on serious inherited conditions. This test helps individuals and couples make informed decisions about family planning by identifying their risk for transmitting genetic disorders.
This test is recommended for:
While individual genetic conditions are rare, collectively they are more common than many realise. Around 1 in 30 couples is at increased risk of having a child affected by a genetic condition.
Not entirely. Most people who carry a genetic condition have no family history of it. Genetic screening can reveal hidden risks that family history alone cannot detect.
Yes. Even if you're aware of a specific condition, this test can screen for additional inherited conditions you may not know about.
Yes. Carrier screening can be done alongside chromosome testing (like NIPT), but they serve different purposes. NIPT looks at chromosome conditions, while carrier screening looks at inherited single-gene variants.
Phenome Longevity provides tools to help you access and understand personal health data, but we are not a diagnostic entity and do not provide medical advice. If your results suggest a higher genetic risk, we can arrange a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counsellor who can guide you through your options and next steps.
Please collect your sample between Monday and Thursday (Royal Mail). Be sure to return it on the same day using the prepaid return envelope, ideally before midday. Avoid collecting your sample on or near public holidays to prevent delays.
Your results will be automatically uploaded to your secure profile on our app, created using the email address you provided at checkout. You’ll also receive an email notification with a direct link to view your results. Through the app, you can explore your full report and even download it as a PDF whenever you like.
