Frequently Asked Questions

While your job and health insurance are federally protected against discrimination due to your genetic makeup (GINA), there currently are no such protections for life and long term care insurances.  Your results could have ramifications in other areas of your life and the decision to have the testing should be made after careful consideration.

Kailos Genetics, in collaboration with the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, wants to help the people in our community live longer, healthier lives.  We created the Information is Power campaign to empower our friends, neighbors, and family in northern Alabama with hereditary cancer risk information that can facilitate earlier cancer detection and treatment.

Taking the test is as simple as rubbing a cotton swab across the inside of your cheek--there are no blood draws or needles involved.  Simply mail the cotton swabs back to us using the prepaid envelope and your testing results will be available within ten days of sample receipt.  

The Expedio™ Hereditary Cancer Testing Service assesses whether or not you are at an increased risk of developing cancer due to inherited changes in your genes. Our test provides your physician with specific information about your genes that can provide great insight into healthcare decisions, such as enhanced screenings, treatments and preventative measures, that may greatly affect your future health and quality of life.

Your physician will receive your results approximately two days before you do, providing them an opportunity to review your test results ahead of time. If a genetic variation is found, your physician will discuss your options with you. You may also be contacted by or referred to a certified genetic counselor to discuss what your genetic variation may mean for your health.
