Testing relatives is important
Color is offering genetic testing to parents, siblings, and adult children of people with mutations for just $199. This program is designed to help your patients who have known mutations get affordable testing for their first-degree relatives.
Enroll your eligible patients by uploading either your patient’s, or your patient’s relative’s, positive report below.

This means a mutation associated with hereditary cancer was identified. It’s important to share your results with your provider to create a personalized healthcare plan.
It is common to see a genetic change that requires further research to determine if it is associated with an increased risk for developing hereditary cancer. To date, most of the variants of uncertain significance that are further classified have been found to be harmless, though this process can sometimes take years.1

Most cancers are “sporadic,” or seemingly due to random chance and without an identifiable cause. But about 10-15% of certain cancers are due to harmful genetic changes, called mutations, that are passed down through families. 2, 3, 4, 5

Knowing that you have a mutation that increases your risk of developing cancer allows you and your healthcare provider to create a personalized screening plan, which increases the chance of early detection. This is important because detecting cancer at its earliest stage improves the likelihood of a favorable outcome.6

A positive result, or finding a mutation, is not a cancer diagnosis, and does not mean that you will develop cancer. For example, most women have a 10% chance of getting breast cancer by the time they are 80, while a woman with a mutation in the BRCA1 gene can have up to an 81% chance.7 Most men have a 2% chance of getting colorectal cancer by the time they are 70, while a man with a mutation in the MLH1 gene can have up to a 41% chance.8, 9 The level of increased cancer risk differs from gene to gene.
