"Prevent Prostate Cancer."
Simple DNA Saliva To Uncover Your Inherited Risk For Prostate Cancer
What Is A Polygenic Score?
- Everyone has small genetic differences, called variants.
- These variants can affect the risk of developing certain diseases.
- A polygenic risk score (PRS) combines the effects of millions of genetic variants to estimate your disease risk.
- While each variant has a small effect, their combined impact can be significant.
Who Should Tale This Test?
Why PRS Matters For Prostate Cancer
Personalized Risk: PRS provides an individualized estimate of lifetime prostate cancer risk based on common genetic variants.
Beyond Family History: It identifies risk in men without a known family history or monogenic mutation.
Stronger Stratification: PRS complements PSA and family history, helping distinguish between low-, intermediate-, and high-risk individuals.
Early Detection: Guides earlier and more frequent screening in high-risk individuals, potentially enabling timely diagnosis and treatment.
Precision Prevention: Informs lifestyle counseling and preventive strategies tailored to genetic risk.
Better Resource Use: Helps reduce over-screening in low-risk men and focus healthcare resources on those most at risk.
